FAO Turbo expert types- Removing silencer ring C-clip?
Ie FAO Carl, Danny, someone who takes turbos to bits...
How do you remove the C-Clips that secure the silencer ring on the front of some ported shroud inlet turbos?
It sits in a groove on the inlet, securing the silencer ring in place, and i cant prise the fucker out with a flat blade screwdriver, and barring that im all outa ideas?!
Cheers in advance

pretty much yeah, but there nowt to grab hold of, just the one side of the gap is angled a little, meaning you can exert force on that with a screwdriver etc, but the screwdriver slips before i can compress the clip.

Ahh, see, i have no idea what was a normal one
When you said that I googled it and it shown that type and this type
Heres a pic to explain my problem, and also note the c-clip sits in a groove so cant just prise it outwards, and im fooked it i can compress itby pressing a screwdriver on the angled bit...

Done it! Not quite how they all describe though, its just too strong to physically do that.
But you could just about jam one in at an angle to force it away a bit and get another underneath to prize it out.
Job done, i now have a far noisier turbo

it wasnt quite that mate, it was the fact the obvious way to lift it didnt work
a way i expected to be a lot more likely to slip worked, just as it gave more leverage, job done
now i just got to work out how big the turbo is not sure, need a GT35 or 40 to compare it to really.
looks awesome tho, and as it that "small" i can use it on my chaser
