Hi,

Im just about to replace my dead t25 (ca18det) with a t25g. Is there anything i should know about before starting? any tricky bits i should be aware of?

Thanks

Neil

take the whole manifold off with it, dont lose the copper oil and water line washers, take the front snout off the turbo when putting it on so you can access the water line, drop your WHOLE exhaust its much easier, let the car cool down!

best trick of the day !! dont look at a bolt whilst you are undoing it with a spanner under the car .. cause when you drop it .. (and you will) it leaves a frickin big dent in your head !!!!

yeah keep your eye on those copper washers cause theyve been training all their lives for the great escape!

lol i know how that feels also when doing the exhuast wear some type of eye protection because if you get some grit in your eye you will headbut something trying to get out and that also hurts

Hello ppls,

Have help 2 ppl do this swap on CA18dets

- Have to cut/grind away a bit of the triangle bit that the metal hose adaptors fits on to, on the compressor housing, if not it will hit the manifold.

- have to find a boost&vacum line to run to the waste gate actuator. I used the line that runs into the canister with a T piece, some ppl my use this line to hook up to BOV too.

apart from that every thing fits back the same.

ahhhhhh!!!! if only i got that message sooner. just found out that it doesnt fit. so had to put the turbo back on. but its working really good now? must be something else that was wrong.

later

Neil.


ps. going to sell this t25g now.
