Message: [QUOTE="jeremiahmercier, post: 795955, member: 5601"] So far, Ive got the transmission and tcase out, both front tires and inner fender wells, and the turbo and down pipe out, injectors out. the drivers side up-pipe fell right out of the turbo flange, when removing. I was able to get the headless exhaust manifold bolt out (drivers side most rear). I went ahead and bought all new bolts, and retorqed the ex manifolds, We started on the Valve springs, but stopped due to I was unsure if I was using the shims properly (I didn't realize they went under the valve seals, I thought they would go over and around the seals but they wouldn't, so we started to put them in under the seal and stopped till I could verify)... Yesterday, the turbo arrived, finally!!! After removing from the box I discovered it was clocked all wrong. So I immediately called jake (eventhough I technically bought his stuff though FF) at Irate, Jake told me they do that for shipping, and that there were no seals id break clocking it to where I need it. Also on a side note, Jake has been really great to deal with, he's spent quit a while (over multiple calls) with me on the phone answering my stupid questions, and educated Q's, ever hesitated to talk, and always called me back quickly. Im hoping to get the plenums and up-pipes in this week, along with springs and push-rods. I should be getting my injectors back from Tim @ P.I.S sometime next week. [/QUOTE]
