Turbo Oil Lines

[ThirstyMKthrice]

I tried to search for this, but had no luck. My car is done, except for the 2 bolts that connect the turbo to the oil lines. I just can't get to them from any angle. I was wondering if anyone had some tips besides pulling the motor out. Any tools that helped?

You have to tighten them with the turbo off the car, im sure if you were really determined you could do it with the turbo on the car but I dont think its worth your time.

you mean disconnect the oil line from the block? I really don't mind taking the turbo off again. I've done it about a million times now lol

yeah off the car is ideal but what i have found that has helped is a crossforce 17....as far threading it....remove the intercooler pipe and the big coolant hose (just to have space) it probably couldn't hurt to remove the lower turbo bracket that bolts to the block either. That should give you enough space to get your hand in there...good luck

I've already got them threaded on, somehow managed to squeeze my hands in there. I took the intercooler piping off and the coolant hoses. I just have no idea how I got it off in the first place....
