Hey guys,
the ct26 blew up on me, im going to rebuild. i been following the TSRM but i am stuck with 4 bolts left ( i think haha ) the turbo exhaust elbow (sorry if im not calling it the correct part im new to forced induction and am still learning) 3 bolts there were easy to get to but the bottom one closest to exhaust manifold im having a hard time figuring out how to fit a wrench or socket on it, same problem goes for the bottom right bolt where it connects to exhaust manifold. and the last 2 are the oil inlet pipe. everything else is off and free. I have searched this forum and other supra enthusiest forums but havent found a clear answer or guide besides the TSRM which limits the pictures and explanations. If i confused you guys with the explanation of what bolts im trying to get off i can add pictures just ask.
Looking for help, not to be harassed for being a boost noobie, i stepped outta the honda game looking for a fun drift scene.
thanks for lookin this over,
Brandon mk3 supra owner.

There are four bolts from the exhaust manifold to turbo, four from the turbo to elbow and three from elbow to downpipe. Without a flex head ratcheting wrench it is a royal PIA to remove. I noticed your in Sumner. I'm in Milton up the hill, and if you need some help let me know.

After you get the elbow and downpipe off you should have plenty of room to reach down from the back with a 14mm wrench to get the bottom two nuts off the turbo flange. I've had to pull the turbo multiple times, I've found it's easiest to leave the oil lines attached to the turbo and just unbolt them from the block.

I always remove the elbow after the turbo is out of the car. The three bolts to the downpipe are a lot easier to get to than the bottom elbow bolt is in the engine bay.

Socket and 6" extension from above for oil line to block bolts, I take off the three from the downpipe to turbo elbow from underneath, usually with a foot or so of extensions, a universal and an impact gun, and yes a combination of wrenches for the turbo to manifold bolts. Free them up with a regular box end wrench before putting the ratcheting/swivel head ratchet wrench on there if you can(don't like excessive torque on ratcheting wrenches.)

Yea a 14mm and 12mm should be all that you need. But I do everything from. Underneath as well. A lot of extensions and I wobbly. Ratchet wrenches are awesome! Lol
