my whole mind set when removing the turbo is about room and not damaging parts....


If you 9-5 is a 4 cylinder, here are some tips to follow:

- remove the front exhaust pipe. This allows for room and no stress on the flex portion of the front pipe

- drain the coolant out of the rad and set the upper rad hose aside. This allows for room when bring the turbo up to be removed as well as draining coolant out of the head. This way when you crack the coolant line that runs from the back of the turbo up to the head you will not have coolant running every where out of the head. FYI - crack the rear coolant line at the head and not the turbo. If you try and crack the coolant at the back of the turbo with a 12-point wrench, you risk stripping the banjo bolt. I usually put the turbo (when it is out of the car) on the bench and use my impact gun to crack the rear coolant line.

- take the radiator fan assembly off. This gives more room when bringing the turbo up to be removed out of the car

- crack the front coolant line at the water pump

- take the oil drain pipe off and loosen the securing bolts the hold the turbo to the block

- once the oil drain pipe is off, you will have better access to crack the oil feed line's (the line sits right behind the oil filter) banjo bolt

- once all the lines are crack, loosen the four nuts that hold the turbo to the exhaust manifold. Let the turbo drop down and then bring it up making sure the attached coolant lines and oil line do not get caught on anything.

- if you have an automatic, the rear coolant line that runs to the head sometimes gets caught between the auto tranny's dip stick and the head. Just keep an eye on this coolant line as you wiggle the turbo out.

Hope the above helps.
