biggreen96 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Are they able to slide forward any farther than the OEM inlet to make lifting the turbo out and getting it back in any easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I found the easy way to slide the turbo into the inlet tube is to remove the studs from the up pipe and bolt the turbo to the up pipe. I got the bolts from the dealership parts guy's, they are the bolts that hold the up pipe support bracket to the block. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
