Default access to the passenger side turbo... any suggestions...

passenger side turbo oil feed line,,, leaking... minor, but definately a loose fitting... my question is.....

can this be accessed in any other way besides pulling the motor?

the tuner who has my car says they need to pull it to get it tight,,, they know for sure that is that connection, but unable to get it any tighter... I know years ago, I saw posts of people accessing the turbo's from underneath,,, they just need to be able to drop the one lightly to get a wrench on it.....

If someone has any suggestions, please post and help me save about $800!!!

Default You could drop the subframe a few inches(supported of course) to get to it maybe...

but if you have to do this you're dropping it anyway. Bumper would have to come off, front clip loose to do. Otherwise you could leave most everything else attached... hard area to get to with the engine in place.

Good luck.
