Man that thing is buried, anyone have any tips and or suggestions as to the best way to go about this. There is little to no room to access what needs to be done, have had it on the lift and see the bottom nut holding the stocker in place, that's not to bad to get to, but everything else seems very challenging. Any thoughts or ideas greatly welcomed. I did cut the excess length of the bolt supplied with the Pure Turbo pipe to avoid snags, but it does look challenging. TIA

Im getting ready to do this mod too. I found a post on the 2 series forum that might help: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showt...1271177&page=2

I just need to get a free weekend to tackle this.

I saw that too, I may just have to bite the bullet and be prepared for the ensuing frustration that will ensue.

I've done it. There's posts on other forums too that I followed (no pictures unfortunately).

The best way to install it, separate both pieces!

I tried it both ways, when doing it as one piece the threads from the clamp got stuck in a harness that I couldn't see. Kept the car torn apart overnight because I just couldn't pull it out, so frustrating! At the same time I was installing an intercooler and charge pipes (easy). Once you install the machined piece into the turbo, it's fairly easy. Just a little tight, need some extensions for the nut on the turbo and the screw the connects the crank case ventilation hose to the inlet. Be careful when disconnecting the hose from the top of the engine, it's very easy to break the internal clips (I broke one).

yes and yes...

It's not THAT bad knowing what I know now. From what it sounds like, I think installing the diverter valve would be much more difficult of an installation without removing the turbo. Some people have done it tho...maybe I should too lol. But I don't reach boost levels that require the upgrade.

Anyone have one pictures of inlet and outlet pipes vs aftermarket. Just curious how different it is
