Any tips tricks to seperate the exhaust houseing from the core? On a ba turbo .. I've herd people bashing them off. But can I use a few boots and nuts to press them apart on these turbos without any I'll effect? Core in it is good but. Need to remove houseing for other reasons. Still on car ATM but wanting everything I need before I rip apart. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you undo it and it just comes off. Others are stuck like fark. If you wanna get a headstart on it, soak it with wd40. Other than that a few hits with a hammer does the job to break the rust seal. You can heat up the turbine housing where it's stuck to help loosen it. There's no way to press it apart, you can't put any load on the turbine wheel and there isn't anywhere to lever the housing. When the turbo is off just hold the compressor in one hand and hit the turbine housing with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably that coupled with a few hits from a hammer will make it easy. Haha some of them are farken stuck to fark though! At any rate I reckon you'll have no worries with it.

Seems now I won't be able to do it all till Inna couple weeks time. The turbo core still fine etc. I just scored a genuine garret record core for 300 so thought why not do it.....couldn't pass it up for that price . The core on it now has about 230 000 ks on it ....has small amount of play though. The wastgate flapper area I know does have small hairline cracks so I'm hoping that won't make any difference ..been like it from years I know it's definally been ported allot larger as was tuned in past but now stock tune ...flapper and hole is way larger then stock. Has stock tune though. Can't see that causing an issue with stock tune? I keep updated when I do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
