I thought they all had them but some people say theirs didnt. To get to the 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the engine mount is a bit of a prik cos of the heatshield that covers the mount is in the way. The stupid washer that holds the heatshield down can be a prik to get off.

The way I got it off was I took the two rear studs out as opposed to undoing the bracket.

Obviously I had the nut just started onto the thread and used it to screw the stud in.. I just wish that I had removed the turbo mounting plate when I was there...

Might take the nut off the stud so I have more room down there if that doesn't work.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Posted 10/02/11 09:23 AM Share Posted 10/02/11 09:23 AM It may help to loosen off the remaining nuts that are holding the turbo on. The turbo has probably dropped a little,so holes dont line up.

I tried that and didnt have any success, I just dont know how to make the nut turn to get the thread to grab. is there a tool I dont know about for it?

Luuke New Member 14 Member For: 14y 1m 6d Posted 04/05/11 03:43 AM Share Posted 04/05/11 03:43 AM I found it so much easier to take the whole manifold off, that way no need to wrestle these bastard nuts, Also wastegate can stay where it is. Assemble new turbo to manifold while its on the bench. made for easy work =)Just thought id share. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43162-removal-of-turbo-in-preperation-of-porting-and-valve-mod/page/4/#findComment-1102706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
