<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

If its anything like an HDi, it takes 8 hrs to remove 4 bolts and remove the Turbo, it then takes another 8 hrs to screw in those 4 bolts.

Its quicker and easier to remove the whole engine, then remove the turbo and put engine back in again.
