Radiator Fitting
Does anybody know if you can change the radiator without removing the turbo?
As i've only just fitted the turbo and didnt want to take it off again but my rad has sprung a leak

it is possible to take it out with the turbo in position, but much like when u remove the turbo and u have to take care not to contact the rad in that case, this becomes the opposite lol

oh, also will depend how snug your fmic is to the rad, as that will limit the angle of attack somewhat

one trick is if u remove the rad with the turbo still fitted stick a peice of cardboard to the rad so if u do knock it against the turbo it wont cause any damage
