Default KO4 Install Update
Well.. im out of KO4 hell... for now. Tonight I got the stock turbo unhooked and out. The bolt that stripped which was NOT a 6mm, was taken off with the help of my dremel and a box full of cutting discs.. see ya bubye...the dremel works wonders. I have pictures but unfortunatly I dont have the digital here on hand, so I will have to post them tommorrow. As for my stock turbo, I think the damn thing was broken anyway!! In the past few months I have noticed a decrease in the performance of my car though I always suspected it was the BPV (which was also replaced tonight). After taking out the stock turbo however, the wastegate plunger fell limp, seemingly unattached to the valve in the wastegate. With the plunger limp, the exhaust flow valve in between the manifold and cat turbo connections, opened and closed freely. This cant be right and Im reasonable sure this didnt just break when I took the damn thing out. Anyway gimmie your thoughts..

Nate

Default Waste gate rod actuator broke off from my stock KO-3 when my mechanic took it out. Take Ed's advise
seriously, the old bolts are useless!
