Default Turbo Removal

Hi all,

Just wandering whats the easiest way to remove both the Turbo & Manifold from my s2 as I have a new one to put in, does it need taking apart bit by bit or will it just slide out in one piece with the manifold still strapped to the turbo?

I'm rather lazy but not too lazy to give it a go myself!

Any help/ advice appreciated.

Col

Take the turbo off the manifold first (it's only 4 nuts) and it will come up through quite easily if your carefull. Then take the manifold off.
