got the old turbo off and i just took off the exhast elbow to put it on the new htt 64 71 13ss and it has 2 little **** made to fit into the back of the exhaust housing and the new turbo doesnt have any holes to slide into it. do i just grind off the **** off of the the old elbow??

thanks for any help you can give i need to get this turbo on the truck tommorow

i will be check this every 15 minutes

 

yes just grind them off flat

 

you the man

 

hope you get it on let us know how you like it

 

they pull out with pliers

 

yea but that leaves 2 small voids that i have seen crack and then you have to get a new elbow. if you grind off than it is less likely to blow out, seen to many break with them out

 

man its a great turbo. i dont have stick in yet and that should wake the bottom end up. i also have not installed my air dog yet.

so here are a few notes/tips for those who care:

-jacking the truck up taking, tire, battery and wheel liner out is a must.
-pb blaster is worth at least $100 per bottle
-knee pads are a must when you are on top of the motor
-take turbo off with manifold
-the bolt that holds the water heater bracket is a real sob
-which bring up the point off a good sawall. three things got the sawzall 1.heater hose bracket 2. lifting lug 3. exhaust bracket that attatches to the tranny
-leave the elbow off when installing turbo
-dont clock the turbo if its from htt b/c its probably right on.

i still need help does anyone know if i can clock this turbo while still on the truck???

oh yea it sounds like an f-16 is following me around

 

sounds like fun cant wait till i get a new turbo or two

 

cool deal my wife is pissed we went on a few hundred mile trip and that is all she heard was the turbo

 

also i just clocked the turbo while still on the truck!! all perfect now
