Any one have any ideas on how to get a stuck turbo elbow off the turbo? i have soaked the bitch in pb,wd-40,and misc and still no luck. I am afraid to put an air chisal on it becaust it might crack it.

+1. There are 4 nuts holding it to the turbine housing. :icon_biggMK3Brent said:Unbolt it.
suprarich said:What is wrong with the bolts? Stripped or rust. If rust then heat the bolt red hot with a torch (not enough that you get distortion or puddling of metal) then immediatly try to loosen the nut. Should come right off. What you are doing is expanding the metal and making the nut grow. This pulls the threads away from the stud and it will turn off really easy.

What's the problem? I'll stay away from this thread if that's what appeases you. PM me if you wish, but I will not conduct any more posting in this thread.yaitsme said:Ooooh ... onea those 'free-range' threads - I see![]()
