RE: Replacing turbo?
ORIGINAL: thebishop
It's not really that hard, it's just getting to all of the bolts that is difficult. The only problem I had was the bolt on the turbo support bracket on the bottom of the turbo. The f***er was tight and I ended up stripping it. But once I got the torbo out I was able to get a better angle on it and get it out. If you have done the timing belt already then you shouldn't have any problems.
This would also be the easiest time to do a test pipe as well. Hint. Hint.

if you want you can just blow the cat out. remove all of the filter inside it. it will make if flow faster but you wont pass an emissions test.

RE: Replacing turbo?
With the right combination of spacers/non foulersbetween his cat and rear 02 sensor, he might. But its hard to get it where it needs to be in order to keep from getting a faut code or even a CEL. It cant be too far out, or too far in.
