yea. this post is for the rhd. the lhd has the heatercore bevel in the firewall, making this much harder. i am trying to source friends with small hands to get the damn oil feed lines. what a PITA to get off. i have to take this apart in small doeses.
also need to go to harbor freight for 6pts. not a big fan of the 12pt wrenches, except the gearwrench brand ones.
my saying is " There is only one way to do it... the right way."

Sad thing is my friend gave me keys to his shop to use after hours. So if it can be done between 6pm to 8am, i guess i could have done it there.... I was like "i haven't torn apart a car in my drive way in years, let me see if i still got it... " Yup i do. I went to Sears, bought a craftsman, and bent it in a curved shape to get the tight bolts..
Done and boosting again!
BTW, the turbos weren't leaking like i thought, the valve cover was leaking,across the last manifold,, leaked through the exhaust gasket, and burnt up in the turbo, blowing smoke like a blown turbo. On a side note, i now know i need an oil cooler, seeing how much oil is baked in there. (not like baked, but more like hot *** oil.)
