Why no Turbo Swap threads
Why are there no threads describing turbo removal/swaps? It seems like a lot of people are doing Reds and Dom2s but there are no posts. Is this job so hard that only the shops are doing them?

It's a pain of a job I'll tell you that much. O2 housing wasn't as bad as people said, but the turbo removal is not easy. You have some hidden bolts that are very hard to see. one at the very bottom you need a LONG extension and a swivel. I switched out the manifold studs to bolts to make it easier next time (I'm already thinking of upgrading the Red I have). Oil and water lines are kinda of a pain as well. Make sure you have something to either plug the water lines or pinch the hoses so that you don't lose too much coolant.
Sounds about right.
