just wondering how long it should take time wise to swap out the vf 11 to a jdm tdo4. the local subie shop has had it fro 2 days now and still not done. i gave them all the parts needed and they got the gaskets

I could have the job done in a couple hours, if I had to fight with rusty bolts and stuff a little longer.

Took me a few hours first time messing with my turbo. Of course, I sprayed down all the bolts with PB blaster the day prior. Maybe the shop did the same?

What was wrong with your midpipe?

That makes sense, I've seen that happen before.
