0309htp Turbo21 Z

Don't even think about starting the turbo swap without a can of PB Blaster or some other penetrant--I sprayed the three turbo-to-header nuts and the downpipe's four Allen bolts a day before picking up a wrench. The MAF harness connector was disconnected, and a 7/16-inch end wrench was employed to loosen the T-bolt clamp on the MAF pipe. I removed the four intercooler mounting bolts using a 10mm socket and then loosened the T-bolts on both ends of the up pipe and the clamp on the turbo outlet. The up pipe was turned 90 degrees to the right and the turbo-to-intercooler hose was popped off.
