should i??
going to install my bellowed up pipes next week and i bought new turbo/pedisatl o rings, but as far as i know i dont oil leaking from there, i will of course change the turbo set, but if i have no leak you guys figure i should change the pedistal ones too while im in there even though they arent leakin??
also do i have to change the orings on the collector and the one on the spider part that connects to the turbo?

Trust me, it is alot easier to swing that 10mm wrench around if the pedestal is out of there too. Make sure to cover the holes. I myself made a tool out of flat steel, drilled two holes, and i bolt it back onto the block to cover up the holes.

thanks guys
one more quick question, i have asked a couple times before on other threads but no response. when putting the new orings in, do i coat them with a little oil like when we change our oil filter or just put them in as they came out of the package and bolt it back up?
