10.10.2005: Drained fluids
Drain coolant, engine oil, and remove the oil filter.

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.

Tools and supplies:

  • 13 mm wrench and socket (downpipe and turbo nuts);
  • 12 mm wrench and socket (banjo bolts);
  • 10 mm wrench (turbo inlet pipe);
  • 8 mm socket (shield screws);
  • 7 mm socket (hose clamps), or flat screwdriver;
  • large pliers (oil return hose clamps);
  • torque wrench;
  • ratchet handle;
  • ramps or jacks and stands;
  • fresh oil and coolant.
