Wicked wheel Questions
Alright so I am trying to put this damn thing in but if i do it with the turbo in I can't find the right size sockets for the intake housing everything I have read says 8 mm but that don't work for me 9 is to big 8 is to small what the hell. Its not a standard size either. Now if I try to take the turbo off I got everything done except the damn clamp for the up-pipes and that damn thing will not break loose. Any ideas of what to do next?? Thanks

Thats what i'm going for now is taking the whole turbo off just have to get some pb this morning and get me a good 12 point 8mm. Boy if I never have to do this again it will be too soon.

Deven, if you take the turbo off, it would be a good idea to take the pedestal off also to change the o-rings. I hope you have new o-rings for the turbo to pedestal. On Chad's truck we had to use a long screwdriver and hammer to hit the sections of the clamp. That worked good, just kind of a pain to get to sometimes.

Do any of you guys happen to know the part number for those o-rings and do you think the local part store would have them? What are the donuts I know i've heard it before just not sure what it is.
