How to:

Need to take a picture of the exhaust side of my turbine so I know I need to remove the downpipe or at least out of the way. What's the best way to do so?

Stock or aftermarket down pipe?

1. Remove the turbo shield 4 bolts: 2 front 2 back.
2. Remove the E clip from the waste gate arm and pop arm off of puck linkage.
3. unbolt 2 of the spring loaded exhaust to turbo bolts.
4. Unbolt the exhaust housing perimeter bolts, when all are removed pull the housing up and towards the front of the car to separate from the down pipe doughnut gasket.
NOTE, since there is a good amount of heat in this area be careful with removing these bolts since they can snap so spray penetrating oil and take your time and if a bolt is not cooperating try tapping bolt head lightly with a hammer, use heat and a back and forth motion with a 3/8 non ratcheting breaker bar. IF IN DOUBT STOP AND DON'T BREAK ANYTHING,
