removing the ct-26

[derK]

i'm pretty sure that my CT is on its way out. On boost, it is one stinky bitch and i do see smoke. Last oil change, i didn't get the same amount of oil that i put in. So for sure i'm burning oil and i'm ONLY burning oil upon boost.

The car is stored now, but if i go ahead and remove the turbo do i have to drain the oil first??? if i remove all the lines will all my oil end up on the ground, or whatever oil is left in the lines??

Thanks,

the small amount of oil in the turbo might come out but won't be much, atleast that's the way it was with mine. Might want to drain your coolant though.

You shouldn't have to drain the coolant either...the lines are on top of the turbo and run to the water neck and back of the water pump housing. You will not lose much coolant, but I would plug the lines anyway.

Removing the turbo is a bitch. I just did it. Search for a write-up on here or google it. It made my removal easier

If its been removed before, I'll see you your 30 mins, and raise you to my 15 minutes.

Ask Boost Lee, he knows my mad ct skills.

Lol well its was my first time and there is know way you can say getting to the oil line bolts is easy...

I've removed my turbo 2 times since my BHG repair... I think I got the method down pat. With my snake like china-man arms I can get to that oil line going to block off with no probs (better than trying to take it off the turbo first). Probably 20 mins or so for me to do it..

You shouldn't have to drain the oil or coolant, just get a rag to soak up anything spilling out of the turbo.

I'll meet your 15 minutes... and if the DP is already removed, I'll lessen you to 10 minutes.

Does that count removing the rounded nuts on the elbow????:biglaugh:

Take it easy on the noob, you veterans !!!

 

[MK3Brent]

I've never removed the DP from the elbow... always the WHOLE dp from the back of the turbo.

 

[Duds]

/\ Same way I did it.

You shouldn't have to drain the coolant either.

I already had my coolant drained before I took it off though so wasn't sure.

The hardest part is going to be getting the old seized up bolts outa there. Not to mention what kingpin said.

a brief search would have led you to the informative links sticky at the top of the 7m Tech section, which contains this link:
