Default turbo swap

Started changing my turbo round earlier from the 34 to the 38, the 38 was previously fitted to a 4x4 so ive had to change the necessary bits round.

thing is i cant seem to move either back housing around to get the turbo hanger bracket off

spent hours up the garage but neither will budge, any sugestions ???

cheers paul

Try some WD40 and then hit it with a rubber mallet. Did 3 turbos that were all stuck like that.

Why not to pop down to BTN Turbos in uxbridge?

They may be able to release the back housing for you.
