Taking it out of the car is not
difficult, the only problem I had was
the water return line underneath. I eventually just cut the damn thing
since
I didn't have the work space to take it off with the turbo on the car. I
also knew that I had an extra from the DSM doner.
|
 |
Here's the old stock TD04.
|
 |
Here's the DSM turbo.
|
|
I know these pics didn't quit
turn out like I had planned but you can definitely see a size
difference between the two.
|
 |
Simply remove all of the nuts
from your manifold, it should come right off. If the old gasket looks
shot, replace it. |
|
Here's a comparison between the
Colt Turbo and DSM manifold.
|
|
And another...
|
 |
Didn't
realize it till I cleaned it up but I found a small crack on the
doner's
manifold. Got it dirt cheap so I can't really complain; just sealed it
up
with some high temp sealant.
|
 |
Cleaned
and ready to be installed. It was almost a direct bolt on... but the
DSM
had a little more mass on the left (drivers) side, had to grind it down
a
bit.
|
 |
Potential problem #1: Make sure
that you get the actuator with your turbo, the mounts are NOT
compatible...
|
 |
...and the arm doesn't reach
either.
|
|
Potential
problem #2: ALL of the banjo fittings are larger on the DSM so you will
need
ALL of the feed and return lines from the DSM. I wasn't able to find a
whole
oil feed line so I used my old one and the stubby one it came with and
connected
them with a 1/4" copper line (not all 1/4" copper lines are
equal, check the I/D) with flare fittings.
|
 |
Turbo partially installed. Be
careful not to over-tighten the mounting studs for the manifold. I
accidentally broke one off.
|
 |
The DSM turbo doesn't have a
output line for the wastegate solenoid. I took the nipple off of the
DSM and mounted it on mine.
|
 |
Finally done and ready for some
fun!
