19.08.2008: Inlet pipe |
It is a good idea to have a fresh rubber O-ring and a new clamp when
replacing the inlet pipe.
|
|
19.08.2008: Return pipe |
Remove the clamp on the bypass valve, undo the screw on the lower end
of the return pipe and remove the pipe.
|
|
19.08.2008: Heat shield |
Undo the 13 mm nut on the heat shield overthe turbo and unlatch the spring
clamps grabbing onto the studs on the manifold.
|
|
19.08.2008: Clamp |
Reach down and loosen the Torx T30 bolt on the clamp holding the inlet
pipe to the turbo. If it's rusted - just break it, you have a replacement.
|
|
19.08.2008: Connector |
Lift the protective sleeve and unplug the electrical connector on the
boost control valve (BPC).
|
|
19.08.2008: BPC |
Slide the BPC from the guides and move it aside.
|
|
19.08.2008: Vent pipe |
Unbolt the banjo bolt on the PCV pipe, detach the pipe from the valve cover.
Unscrew the inlet pipe from the bracket and loosen the intake hose clamp.
|
|
19.08.2008: Vacuum line |
Pull the inlet pipe off the intake hose. Detach the vacuum line on the back.
Lift the pipe making sure the old O-ring did not get stuck on the turbo.
|
|
19.08.2008: Old vs new |
The Taliaferro pipe is noticeably larger. Its turbo flange also has a wider
opening to accommodate upgraded turbos rebuilt to the 18T or 19T spec.
|
|
19.08.2008: Clamp |
Grease the O-ring, seat it on the pipe and connect the pipe to the
compressor housing on the turbo. Make sure that bolt holes on the bracket
are aligned before tightening the clamp.
|
|
19.08.2008: Intake hose |
Bolt the pipe to the bracket, insert the banjo bolt and connect the intake
hose. The vacuum nipple on the pipe was a bit larger than stock, so I had
to find a thicker elbow.
|
|
19.08.2008: Vent pipe |
Screw the vent pipe to the valve cover.
Fit the BPC and plug in the connector.
|
|
19.08.2008: Heat shield |
Attach the heat shield over the turbo, tighten the nut.
|
|
19.08.2008: Return hose |
The original aluminium return pipe doesn't fit anymore. Taliaferro offers
a pretty silicone piece to replace it. I had this rubber return line from
NG900, and it worked just fine.
