Brand new second hand? Lol I found this recently when I was looking as was thinking of removing mine too http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/39712-removing-abs/
-Drivers side engine mount to drivers side turret -engine loom to icv bolt -engine loom to alternator -engine loom to starter -gearbox to passenger side chassis rail -battery terminal to passenger side engine mount
Haha I think all na starlets make that noise, well any I've owned anyway. Seems to come from the charcoal canister. I just nicknamed it Barry the bee lol
I watch some of them, I just wish he'd drive the cars a bit harder, like the starlet was only starting to come alive when he lifted of everytime. But that's prob easier said then done when your in someone else's car and on public roads lol
I took mine of as if you rotate it with the locating pin still in you just break it of. And I didn't fancy a lose bit of metal floating about in any part of my turbo
Yes there is a locating pin. No need to grind it, it should just pull out with pliars. To get the compressor housing of there is a big circlip, so good circlip pliars and a small flat screwdriver will help.
Hardly a scammer if he bought a mani and down pipe, then went and got a turbo, new gaskets and oil line to sell it as a complete kit. A complete ready to go td04 kit with brand new parts is worth that.
In the end I pulled it out after 1 drive. My mate had a bleed valve that looked like it was for some type of plumbing application and used it in the end and was far better
There's a slight gap in my genuine one too. And have seen others the same. I'm gonna make a spacer eventually just so it pulls in tighter to the bumper on the corners
