the gasket where the turbo bolts up to the mani is blown in my car. after buying a new BOV i realized i had an exhaust leak and my BOV was fine. i was just wondering if anyone has changed this before and how difficult it was. any tips or pointers would be very helpful. 🙂 thanks

Take it off. Now here’s the tricky part… Put it back on the same way.
Are you gonna ask questions for every little thing you do? Some stuff you can try on your own. Plus, you can search sites other than NECC.

its easy. the only tool that you might not have is a bent ratchey with a swivle head on a 17mm. The job takes about 1.5 hr if youve done it a few times. The problem is extreamly common. Make sure to use the tabs on the bolts once finished or your bolts will come off in a week even if you use lock tite.

those locking tabs are fucking useless get rid of them use lock tite and lock washers, i did mine at the beggining of the year and havent had a problem since, but ya like jvd240 said search man search!!!
