To help get around the steering problem, I bought a top mount turbo manifold off of ebay.
Naturally something has to come off before something else can replace it.
1. Here's the manifold. It's for a t3/t4 turbo with an external wastegate. |
|
2. It's made from stainless steel, and I plan on getting it ceramic coated. |
3. Here's the turbo side of the engine with everything on it. |
|
4. With outlet tubing/hot pipe out of the way. |
5. I had to remove the outlet housing to get the heat shield off. |
|
6. Heatshield removed. Now I can get to the bolts. |
7. Something weird and broken made out of plastic and covered in oil inside the turbo outlet housing. |
|
8. Another shot. |
9. Turbo manifold with all the fasteners removed. |
|
10. The manifold removed. |
11. I'm going to stuff rags in there to keep the nasties out. |
|
12. Here's all the stuff that came off tonight. |
13. The backside of the turbo. The top angled lines are for coolant, and the lower two are for oil. |
|
14. Here's the manifold lightly put in place. |
15. From the top. |
|
16. None of it is lower than the level of the top right fitting from the previous picture. |
Next thing I do is put the air conditioning back on, and see how hard it will be to change the side the alternator is on.
