Pulled the turbo

Well i removed my turbo last night to seal up the ebpv, it took some time getting the right combinations fo swivels and wrenches to to get it off but was actually easier than i thought it was going to be. I put all new orings and a new piston in the ebpv it doesnt leak but turns out my selenoid is no good cause the ebpv is actuated all the time. Either way i am glad i did it, and next time it wont be nearly as time consuming.. I made a special wrench to loosen the pass side uppipe collector nut. I cut the open end off of a 15mm and welded a 1/2 drive female to it and used a ratchet to turn the wrench, it worked well.

I'd like to see a picture of that wrench. it's amazing how strong that tool metal is even after you weld it.

Yea for the most part. It was just a china wrench so I didnt feel bad. I will try to get some pics I use my phone for this and I get impatient.
