By rotate they mean the front housing, because in Fg the outlet faces up and your hot side comes up and over your intake, on the B series they point down and go under the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember using a 1/4 rachet with an extension and a 14mm socket to undo mine. It was tight but can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboii Member 29 Member For: 10y 5m 13d Posted 04/06/14 01:13 AM Author Share Posted 04/06/14 01:13 AM yeah 14mm, I really wanted to hear of a solution rather than not taking the manifold off lol, I tried for a good 30mins on the bottom back one and couldn't get a good grip, and the front bottom one I couldn't get to cause it looks like the bolts that hold my actuator on look like they would fowl against the turbo housing before they would come out in order to get enough space to try from the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tighten my bolts every service and seems relatively straight forward, probably one or 2 that may be hard to take out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
