P44YNE Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 To remove and replace the exhaust manifold, does the rad have to come out for access purposes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J25GTi Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 yes really mate! saves so much time and i dont think youd slide the turbo forward enough with the rad in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P44YNE Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ahhh, I was afraid of that! My mate changed his on a GT Turbo and had to remove the radiator. Looking at mine, it seems like I could do it, but don't want to attempt without getting some coolant just incase. But if the more experienced can share there knowledge I can prepare before hand. Seems like such a hassle just to fit a stainless manifold lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
