Turbo replacement on a hot air car

[montecarlofast]

I am about to put the turbo (that I didnt take off) back onto my 85 T Type. Is there any special procedures or anything I need to be aware of before i bolt it back on? thanks.

Only thing that is challenging is getting the oil drain tube into the grommet in the intake. Takes a small hand and maybe someone to hold the turbo up so you can line it up as you are lining up the compressor as well. I would also slap a zip tie on the vacuum hoses that attach to the bottom of the compressor before you set it all the way down...kinda hard to get to after the fact. Might want to smear a little lube on the o-rings to help it slide down easier too. HTH ---Keith
