10.10.2005: Coolant line
Undo the banjo bolt on the lower coolant line (12 mm socket). On newer cars the line goes to the water pump instead of the block. Put a catch pan under the car as there will be coolant dripping.

Garrett T25 turbocharger replacement performed on a 1996 Saab 900. The procedure is more or less similar for all Saabs using the B204-B235 engine families. Use new copper crush washers for all banjo bolts. It is also a good idea to get a new oil feed line, or at least clean the old one from sludge and deposits.

This article describes replacing a stock turbocharger with another OEM unit. For upgrade information, refer to this document.
