I had already removed the old POS turbo and the wagon has been sitting there eagerly awaiting this install. First up I noticed 2 unpluged coolant ports in the turbo, 1 on each side.



These are from the turbos previous life, are not required on the TD42Ti and are just left exactly like this.

Tme to lift it in and begin bolting it up, next problem, the outlet pipe hits the exhaust manifold and won't let the turbo bolt up.



So I loosen the centre clamp and rotate the front of the turbo so it clears the manifold, also allows the actuator to work freely and straight. Now to do the nuts up, what a PITA, the front two are easy, the back inside one is not too bad but the front inide one is there to test your patients.



Next up was to bolt up the exhaust, at first I didn't think it was going to line up, but it did, mostly. TIP. Put the bolts in the dump pipe first as it's difficult (impossible) to get the inside bolt in from the top once everything is in position.



Now for the oil line. I screwed the adaptor into the block first then added the line to the turbo, another PIA job. I ground down a 9/16 spanner to do it. Added some of Caltex's finest Dello 400 to the oil line then screwed the other end into the block. Added the EGT probe and job done.



Now it's time to start adding the intake pipework. Man these things were NOT designed for 4" intakes, anyway trial fitted it and it kinda fits. I will need to mod the heat shield as well.





So looking forward to firing this thing up again and diving it.
