Front Cover On Turbo

[Ricky N]

Any turbo shop should be able to get you a .70 A/R comp cover.

You’re going to need to make a new or modify the factory wastegate bracket to fit the .70 A/R cover.

The .70 A/R scroll is too big for the factory bracket to fit around and the bolts are spaced differently to the .50 A/R cover.

I just did mine over the weekend

it very easy to take off

I'll give u a quick run down, its heaps easier on a set of car ramps

1. drain coolant.

2. take of the piping

3. take heat sheilds off

4. undo the hotside piping

5. undo the oil and water lines. a lil bit of oil will fall out as with water

6. undo the bolts that hold on the dump pipe

7. undo the 4 bolts that hold on the turbo to the manifold.

8. shuld pull right out.

9. once its out u shuld be able to undo all the bolts around the front housing and shuld pull off

to put on the 0.7 housing u will need a different ring that goes on the inside of the housing

and same process to put back.. it sounds a lot more difficult than it is

by changing the front will it actually make much of a difference?? The inner holes look pretty much the same size

[typhoon_freak]

yeh it is.. cuz I never changed the wheel. but the outlet is 2.5in

got a pic of it fitted dude? can I ask how much it was? I was gunna polish mine n put it on a high mount, but one of these will make life alot easier n look better

I paid $500 for the front housing, the acuator bracket, the 38mm flapper and the ring

btw.. it was a b*tch getting the silicone on there..

There is a bolt on .70 A/R comp cover kit for $550

It comes with a .70 A/R cover that has the same bolt spacing as the factory comp cover. It does not require the ring.

It also has a stainless wastegate bracket that looks similar to the factory bracket but fits around bigger comp cover.

You can also get it with the 4" inlet or the standard inlet.
