Helpful hints:

The most difficult parts of the install are removing the front subframe, installing the silicone turbo inlet pipes, and
keeping everything organized.

Use plastic bags to keep bolts & parts together as you pull them off.

Both downpipes must be removed to remove either front or rear turbo.

Tie rod end may need to be separated from knuckle for clearance.

Steering rack may also need to be rotated away from subframe for access.

Valve cover heat shield will need to loosened and pushed upward to get clearance for turbo manifold removal.

If studs back out of cylinder head and nuts are seized to studs, replace studs. Thread studs in to head by hand to
prevent cross threading. When installing the new studs in the cylinder head, use a high temperature loctite in the
cylinder head side, and copper anti-seize on the nut side.

To make more room for access to the front turbo, remove the rubber line running in front of the subframe that
attaches to the back of the map thermostat and remove the clip. Cut off the OEM clamp and replace it with a new
hose clamp as well.

Complete removal of the water pump is not required. Just detach the water pump from the side of the block
and push it out of the way to make more room for access to the front turbo. When water pump is unbolted from
the block, the aluminum bolts must be replaced (included).

While you’re at it, do the aluminium coolant outlet replacement install:


Remove two 10mm bolts.
Remove the old fitting from the engine block. The O ring needs to be removed as well as it may get stuck inside.
Clean the outlet on the engine block. BE VERY CAREFUL to make sure parts of the old adapter are not still in
engine, it may look like there is a sealing washer remaining. Also do not cut old clamp/band off. The plastic flange
will crumple allowing the band to be pulled off.
Remove any remaining pieces from the coolant hose. Slide old clamp off.
Install the new fitting. Lubricate the seal O ring before installation. Tighten the two 10 mm bolts.
Slide the coolant hose on the outlet port. Tighten the clamp.
