the first time I changed a turbo it took me about 9 hours also, but when I changed Dan blu's a few weeks ago it took me just 3 1/2 hours :nod: .

Do you have abs on your car? :confused: You can do a check on the abs ECU (driver side rear quater) which will tell you if you have a problem with any of the abs components :thumbs:

Download the manual if you don't have it. I has a list of fault codes on page BR 50 ish also othe test procedures

Pretty straight forward but the 2 lower bolts at the back of the manifold are a pain to get to. While the turbo is off you should upgrade to a braided oil feed as it is easier to refit and also less likely to block.
