Does anyone have a how to on how to remove the stock turbo in the 2010 SS. I found a link on how to remove it but it doesnt include pics and we all know how to's are pretty much useless without pics. So does anyone have a link with pictures on how to remove the stock turbo

 

Sub'd

 

subed'ed

 

anyone have a how to thread...Or just a thread on how to do it without pictures

 

theres a how-to thread here but no pics... I'm pretty sure theres a dif one on GMSC 2...

 

ya found the one here its pretty much useless...was hoping it was easy and removing cp/intake/drain oil/disconnect battery/remove exhaust/remove oil lines/drop turbo then manifold but looks like might take awhile...Time to make a how to with pictures i guess

 

oooo do one

 

ya well attempt to...if we dont get to drunk in the process ahah

 

haha cody you know we will

 

In for your How To!

 

^^ same here!!

 

**** looks like we are making a how to Ill charge my camera...and quickly build my alcohol tolerance...lol

 

ive done a turbo swap on an ss/tc about 10 times now. if you need any help pm me anytime and i can walk u thru it. After about the 3rd time i have it down to a science lol. just a little tip, ive found that it is a lot easier if you take the rear transmission mount off. also use power tools, hand tools takes forever trust me.

 

i have the GM instructions

 

post them

 

I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but does anyone have some more information on a how too?

 

Use the first half of this. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-guide-43/zzps-zfr-turbo-installion-287559/

 

Thanks

 

Easy...remove intake and hot side pipe.remove heatshields.disconnect all sensors. Remove downpipe and o2 housing. If you remove the fuse box it makes the o2 housing easier to remove. Disconnect coolant and oil lines. You can leave the drain attached,

At that point all you should have left is to unbolt the turbo. 4 bolts it's off. That's just a quick undetailed way since I'm on the phone

 

Can you pull that line off with a pair of pliers, or is there a specific tool for it?

 

To take the whole line off the turbo just use a hex socket and universal joint to get to the small bolt. Then you can remove the line from the plate it is connected to with a fuel line disconnect tool.

Get one at your local auto parts place. I think its the 3/8 one. In the multicolor pack it is usually blue.

 

^ what he said..... use a tiny pry bar and some wiggling after you undo the 10mm botl and it comes right off

the bpv line just disconnect it or pull the bpv out and leave it connected.

 

just use the installing zfr howto. I did it first time, it wasn't a problem
