You just need to remove the bolts around the bottom then the ones in the sides.

two ways, drop the subframe and then wiggle it out. OR Lift the car, support the motor with a cherry picker or similar, loosen motor mounts and lower car enough to wiggle the pan out. It wont come out by just taking the bolts out.

Yeah I know I was going to try explaining it then I figured I would let someone else post who has done it before

XtremeGaGt00 · 09-15-2008, 06:09 PM

when i did mine, i wound up just lifting the motor, undoing all the bolts and still had somewhat a hell of a time gettin it out...

zukiracer19 · 09-15-2008, 07:26 PM

PITA... i was changing the spring in my wastegate today to something smaller like .5 bar and i lost a bolt i've been looking for it for past hour... its somewhere on my bed, the stop of wastegate flew off from spring

... got all but one damn allen bolt

wrap as much as possible in exhaust wrap. Also if you don't have a turbo blanket I would strongly invest in one.

zukiracer19 · 09-21-2008, 09:36 AM

I'll wrap it after i get it running, thats if it ever runs again
