Caution
l Be careful of the following points after turbocharger removal.
l Do not carry the turbocharger by the actuator rod or actuator hose.
l Do not drop the turbocharger.
l Set the turbocharger down with the turbine shaft horizontat.
l Cover the intake, exhaust, and oil passages to prevent dirt or other material from entering
the turbocharger.
l Use the specified new studs when installing the turbocharger.
1, Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise the vehicle and support it on safety stands.
3. Remove the undercover.
4. Orain the engine coolant.
5. Remove in the order shown in the figure, referring to Removal Note.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal, referring to Installation Note.
