    anyone know what size the bolts are for these? I bought a forge one when mine packed in but kind of dropped 2 of the bolts and can’t find them! :-/

    Also anyone got any pics of how to get the top left and the bottom bolts in without wanting to scrap the whole car?

  6. Ah ok, its quite tight this was fitting same just yesterday the top left bolt would need to be shorter than other two so maybe m6 x 8 or similar, good luck

    Thanks. What did you have to remove to get to the bottom bolt?
     
  8. The air intake pipe which is proper pain itself, the clamp around turbo assuming it’s jubilee clip might need socket with flexy head. Also removed the dump valve which is another fiddely bit. Then there’s the oil pipe that runs across the recerc valve, you’ll need two large spanner’s one to counter torque the holder of the oil pipe nut so you don’t snap that off. Other easier bits were turbo heat cover and the actuator solenoid and pipes. Full mornings work, good luck
