If you've ever wanted to get a few more horsepower, the turbo is a very good place to start. It won't cost much more than just replacing or rebuilding your existing one...something to consider, anyway. > Also, any tips on pulling it out and re-installing it would be much > appreciated. The bolts on the hot side *will* be nearly impossible to get off. You might want to consider just buying new ones, and atatcking the ones no there with a Dremel (or similar) tool. If the turbo is going to be rebuilt, make sure you don't nick it. Also - you don't mention year/model, but you should consider replacing some of the oil lines, depending on what car you have.
