Changing IAC

Post by TurboSubie »

Ok, so I started to take off the IAC..the top two bolts on the side came out easily. how do you get to the bottom two? I am completely confused as to how you get the bottom two out?

The IAC is 4 10mm head bolts. Two on top, two on the bottom. There are many different IACs themselves, but the bolt pattern is always the same.

yeah, I got the two top ones out..do I need to take anything off to access the bottom bolts? I'm having a heck of a time getting to them

You may have to pull the coupler off the block that comes straight up and into the PCV tubing system. And swear a little.

Did this a few weeks back. On NA cars, its cake. Unfortunately, our turbo gets in the way. . .

There are two 12mm bolts that can come off the turbo side nearest the iac. Don't be afraid, you can pull these to get at everything else. Make sure you've got plenty of ratchet extensions and patience, and the bottom two will come out just fine.

Lmk if you need more help, bro.
