I have a blown turbo and have purchased a new one from BNR Supercars along with new oil lines. I have removed the blown turbo and have found that the inlet pipe at the compressor inlet is ripped. It was ripped by the dealer because you can see that they wrapped electrical tape around it to mask the rip.
I can't figure out how to replace the inlet pipe without removing the intake manifold. I also can't figure out how to remove the manifold because it's hard to decide what comes off and what stays.
I'm just stuck and not sure how to proceed.
I also found that the inlet pipe was completely loose on the turbo along with other bolts and missing bolts. I think it's too bad that we try to take care of our cars and the dealer's mechanics could care less.
I like the idea of doing this myself but I really got myself into something more than I expected. Any help is appreciated.
