Turbo wheel
Well, I now have my new turbo wheel. Can you guys explain to me the process to change it . I heard some of you say that you dont even have to remove it. I would just prefer the easiest way, I dont mind having to remove it if it is easier. Thanks

I'm pretty sure that if you remove the intake plumbing and exhaust downpipe from the turbo housing that you can get a socket on both ends of the turbo shaft. You should be able to remove the wheel(s) that way. Removing the pedestal can be a time consuming PITA and not really necessary.

like said the down pipe need to come off so you can hold the other end. On the intake side the tubing needs to come off and the intake housing needs to come off (the snail shell) The while holding the exhuast end you can use a socket on the wheel to spin it off. can't remember what sizes the exhaust end is but as long as you have 12 point sockets you should be covered. not sure on torque specs either. I think the turbo wheel is 100 in lbs but don't quote me on that
