Just like the title says, whats the easiest way to get to the outlet pipe? Either way it looks like a pain in the ass.

Take the up pipe and exhaust manifold off?

or

take the turbo off?

Thanks guys

During my swap, even with the turbo off, I had a hell of a time getting at that freaking outlet pipe. I ended up lubing up the pipe, aligning it to the output from the turbo, and then setting the turbo into the uppipe. Wrangled a long needlenose pliers from the bottom of the car to move one of those clamps up some... wasn't easy at all -- nor I don't think the best course of action. Haven't noticed it leaking though...

Unfortunately, that is the best course of action. Getting that thing on is no fun.

yeah +1

op - turbo off. but don't expect much, it will suck anyhow

alright turbo off it is.

I just wish I had more money right now... all this work just to put the stock turbo back on oh well atleast it wont leak and smoke

thanks for the help guys!

Ill let ya know how it goes...

The clamps on that hose are the hardest to reach on the whole car. Having the downpipe off helps.

Got the turbo and oil line off. What a pain. Actually didnt even have to move the hose clamps they werent even clamping, we just pulled the turbo right off.

Replacing the hose and clamps and a couple other brittle/broken hoses and it should be fixed.


Thanks for the help guys.
