starter and ADD
well.........
my starter just clicks. ive had a spare for quite some time now. so I decided to put it in after work. I got under the truck and dropped the starter out no problem. then the ADD kicked in. oh look at those up pipes. it will be so much easier to change them without the starter in. bottom bolt on the manifold came out quick and easy. here I go thinking this is going to be quick and easy. oh look at all that dirt on the oil pan.....then I ended up pulling the pass inner fender out to get the other bolt out. next was the driver side. those came out fairly easy. next was the spider and turbo.... that clamp on the baby butt got called a lot of words today. I finally got the turbo out after a good hour or so fighting it. I have a new compressor wheel to go in when it all goes back together.
on the turbo pedestal there is what looks like a bolt that sticks out the side. I think I broke it
and I took my hpx out to get the turbo out and think I twisted the tube on it too.
other than a new hpx what else should I replace while I'm in here?
I have bellowed up pipes and a spx billet wheel to go in.

You are only four bolts away from replacing the o-rings on the pedestal...assuming you were going to replace the o-rings between the ped and turbo.
I would also use new bolts at the exhaust manifolds. Did they come with the up pipes?

the new up pipes came with bolts and baby butt.
since I broke the stud the pedestal is coming out for rebuild or would it be better to replace it?
I am shopping on riffraff now. I have a frx,hpx and for now a rebuild kit in my basket.
do I need anything else?

I see on riffraff the non ebpv pedestal is not in stock.
what is the difference between the e99 and 99.5?

OK. Could you take a picture and post it so that we can make sure that someone did not put a L99 lower end in and use the e99 upper parts...spider, plenums, collector, turbo, pedestal.
Does it have an AIH on the spider?
