Note the torques given for each of the parts are in lb-ft (foot pounds)
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.
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).
