How do I remove this? Turbo

I'm attempting to look into this truck more. I'm stuck at removing this one piece so that I can get in closer to the turbo blades. How do I remove it?



This hose connected to black box on top of manifold cover.





This Black box.

Its called the crank case ventilation aka "Dog House" and you can either pull it with strength or cut that clamp and replace it with a reusable clamp.

That's what they call the Dog House....the hoses will twist off, you gotta pull the intake boot off first.

I removed 2 screws. I disconnected hose from air filter. Now I'm at that little hose. So just cut the clamp?

I managed to get to turbo.




How do I tell if turbo is good or bad?

Looking inside. No wiggle, no side to side, no chips. Looks good?




I also assume it's stock?

Shouldn't have to, should just twist off of the dog house tube, ( with a little Armstrong.)...... The wheel looks good, as long as it's tight with no in/out, side-side motion.

My hoses slipped right off Doghouse. Appears my hose is to long as the intake tube wouldn't bolt to the bracket its suppose to hang on... someone left it that way. Was it hard to cut off those clamps ?

Is that a fingerprint on your wheel? If so, is that DUST on your wheel?

What air intake and filter are you using? Make sure it is fully sealed when you put it back together.

Can't tell you if it is stock or not, I'm not an expert on wheels, surely someone else can

I didn't cut the clamps. I removed the two bolts from the bracket. Then loosened the clamp on the turbo side. I pulled really hard and turned it to the side.

I'm sure it's stock. I had oil on my hands. No dust on the turbo.
