Turbo project.
The kit is suppose to be here tomarrow. So tonight I went ahead and prep the car. In 2 hours I removed the exhaust, turbo, and all the hoses. So when I start tomarrow i'll just have to remove the manifold, fuel pump, and injectors. The longest part will be waiting for the ECU to get back and some how customizing the exhaust by running back and forth to a shop to get the bends just right.
I can't believe how easy the bolts broke loose from the DP and from the turbo/manifold. I hope I have that same luck for the manifold/head nuts.
For a 180 TT guy... I have boost hose kit and a TIP for sale if you want it. All the hoses are red. The engine code is ATC. I'll attach a picture to show what hoses. They are all Samco too. They are the three hoses plus the TIP.

You went with APR's kit right?
Any tips on removing the downpipe from the turbo, want to do this I think this weekend, wondering what specific tools you recommend (how long of extensions) and what the best plan of attack is?
Also are you doing this on jack stands, or on a lift?
Plan to replace my turbo this fall, would love to know how this all works out since we have the same engine.

Lets see.
I used liquid wrench. 17mm is the size. I used a wrench to break them free than a ratchet w/ no extension to take them the rest of the way off. I removed all the stuff you see in that one photo I just posted.
I have it on one jack stand to reach the cat nuts. I wish I had a lift. My garage isn't big enough.
