Turbine Housing Installation

[Archive]

I have the 16 cm2 housing, and I removed the turbo from my truck. Can anyone tell me how to separate this thing without buying a new one. Please tell me that there is a tool or something, because I just get nervous about wailing away on anything that is cast.
Thanks
Russell

Put it back onto the exhaust manifold and just snug down all four nuts. Loosen up the four bolts that hold the compressor to the exhaust housing of the turbo. Then get a steel hammer and begin to slam away at the exhaust housing to shock them apart. Just use enough force to bounce the hammer four or five inches back at you. You can also use two of the bolts that hold the halves together and back them out against the compressor housing to "help" the shock loading. Good penetrating oil works, and be patient. That is the only way I separate the really stuck housings. Just keep turning the turbine from time to time to make sure the housings aren't separating on an angle and the wheel is getting hung up on the inside of the exhaust housing.

Thanks for the advice, everyone else I've talked to gives me the instructions on this operation in a one word sentence, "hammer".

Yikes, both of my trucks have over 100k, should be interesting. By the way, has anyone had their turbine housing jet hot coated? If so, how is it holding up?

Depending on what year you have you may need to move the stock exhaust system forward aprox. 1. 1-1. 2 inches. You need to bend muffler brackets and hangers. Its not a simple r&r swap.
