Turbo removal/installation help!!!!

Ok, so my turbo blew up. Impeller shaft broke. so I have my new reconditioned turbo in hand and have removed the old turbo. I've now been working 2 days to get the new turbo back in..... the y pipe to the turbo don't budge and it's hanging too low for the turbo to position itself properly. I thought maybe loosening the y pipe, but I see no way to tighten it back up once I have the turbo in. Anyone have a tutorial or something?

I don't know what year your truck is, but this should help.

Go HERE.

Click on the "Alphabetical Index" link on the upper left corner of the page.

Scroll down to and click on "Turbocharger REMOVAL and INSTALLATION (6.0)".

You're welcome. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you simply just need to wiggle the turbo just so to make it fit. It's a tight *****, especially if it's your first time installing one.

WHEW!!! That helped ALOT!!! The first day trying to do it, i had my brother in law look underneath to see if there was any way to loosen the Y pipe. He said NO! Today, got under the truck and loosened it up and she went right in!

Thanks a million!
