Hey all, wasnt really exactly sure where this is supposed to go...
but anyways, i got my 845 motorsports downpipe in the mail the other day, and i spent a few hours slowly taking the stock manifold off yesturday or atleast trying...
i got down to where i needed to remove the 3 bolts from the stock manifold to the turbo. i got 1 off, but i stupidly snapped the top most stud off with the bolt (the stock flange is like a triangle)
so rather than risk everything, i decided to put everything back together. it doesnt seem to leak at the moment and i am bummed... i really want to install the down pipe...
but it seems i may need to remove the turbo from the engine... doesnt seem too difficult of an idea....
but has anyone done this yet? looking at pictures/cutaways and animations, it looks as if the exhaust housing is part of the exhaust manifold, so i would need to take the manifold off in order to remove the turbo?
also, i planned on doing an oil change so i have that ready to go, but how much coolant should i expect to come out from the cooling lines?
any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
