97' hypermax h2 turbo removal/install
here's the deal....changing fuel pump on 97' powerstroke..(manual trans).. and it's got all the goodies--including the h2 turbo--so this is different than stock. first off; fuel pump doens't look to hard to deal with AFTER the turbo's off. second; im wondering if anyone's installed or removed one of these turbos and if it's easier or harder than the stock one--basically..how's it gonan be takin off this h2 turbo to access the fuel pump?

I don't have the hypermax but I just changed mine without taking out the turbo. The only thing that was tricky was getting the banjo bolt off the aft end. 1 1/4 inch wrench, loosen it a little and then barely reach your fingers in there and spin it out the rest of the way. Undo the fuel filter fuel lines and you can pull it up enough to get everything done. I cut the bottom fuel line to get the filter canister up and then I took it off after it was up and leaning back. I replaced all 4 little rubber fuel lines while I was in there. Use the old ones to cut them the right length. Length is pretty important.The bottom one goes on the filter canister first. The two on top of the fuel pump go there first and the one on the driver side of the fuel filter goes on the fuel line first. Put the clamps on all the lines, loose and then when you slide it back together, wiggle the clamps into place and tighten them Get the good, expensive fuel injection fuel line. I plugged the whole down into the block with a little plastic cap and then I cleaned the whole engine valley with diesel fuel and a parts cleaner brush and rags. 2 hours

the h2 is easier than the stocker. just gotta make sure you get your oil lines right if the one you have has external lines. i didnt have a mech pump on my truck when i had the h2. im pretty sure you could get the pump out with the turbo in.
a crowsfoot fits well in there to get the banjo bolt broke loose.

its like the end of a wrench with a square spot you can put a rachet or rachet extension in
