Turbo



This is the Garrett gtx3071 turbocharger, which I am installing. first install the waste gate flange onto the exhaust manifold  and the corresponding studs for the turbo with anti seize paste.
Like so. then you can install the turbo onto that, first Fit the down pipe in between the axle and sub frame and let it rest there, will make it easier to maneuver around the turbo.
As you can see the down pipe is in position yet not attached yet, put it there before installing the turbo then attach it after words.
With it attached to the turbo.
With the External waste gate installed as well.
And the result is this, the turbo/waste gate is installed.
Warning do not start up a car on a fresh turbo without priming it first. will get to that later.
