Do you mean the manifold to turbo gasket?

I took my turbo off the other day to change the manifold as my tubular one cracked! Apt wanted about £300 to do mine.

Before doing it you will need to get braided lines ect and the solid ones will probably split. Yea Matt he means turbo

Have you got access to a ramp?

see i was planning on going to APT tomorrow but realised how far outside norwich it is so getting home then back to pick up would be a nightmare. i can drive to peoples if it easier... am getting desperate

You need to get all the bits ordered first. I would come round and do it but with work ect I don't know when

Haha, I did mine on a ramp which was ball ache enough lol

Seriously tho. I prob wouldn't bother with braided line unless you've upped the pressure

You will need a pair of locking tabs, which go where the square gasket is
Dowty washer or copper crush washers - you'll need 4xM14 for the water hoses and 2xm12 for the oil hose
You'll need a gasket for the oil return pipe
New lock nuts/nylocks for the turbo studs x5 but best to get 6, just incase
AND, most importantly, a genuine Nissan mani to turbo gasket, the others are all really crap tbh.

I could help but as per Matt, I can't commit to when. I'm busy with harvesting and weddings this month. Although I might be free next Sunday if I'm not harvesting...

If you're going for it, definitely get the braided lines as the standard steel hard pipes are a pain in the arse to get back on. Plus they have tendency to crack after they've been messed about

3 hours isn't that long to wait when you have a lot of nice cars to look at
