GODDDDDDDDD This was by far the worse experience I have had working on a car ever...
Everything that could go wrong, DID! ( it felt like)
*******Warning, Explicit language used!!***** (mostly the F Bomb)
My latest adventure
FML (sorta my fault, it wasn't going to come out anytime soon I promise)
FUCK THIS THING!!
REALLY?!
All I did was unbolt it from the manifold and pry it away GENTLY with a VERY SMALL screwdriver....
WHAT The hell...
Replaced front turbo, installed replacement rear turbo...learned there are different sets of 9B's as seen here. Would not fit into my Turbine housing...so as oppose to pulling the rear manifold and pre cat and turbine housing and all that shit and adding like 4 days worth of work...
I just rebuilt my old one. (with GENUINE Mitsubishi parts from that "shitty" ebay company called Kinugawa, AN Oil lines on the way from them too!)
differences seen here:
(AWWW COME ONE REALLY?!?!)
... FML
Other things that went wrong...
*ebay downpipe that previously lined up perfectly, decided not to line up AT ALL. dropped it, reinstalled it, had manhandle the rear turbo flange with a big ass pry bar and scissor jack from under the car....
*Everytime I blinked or thought about moving something fell....
*Front Turbo I received had a bolt broke off in the Turbine housing, that was half the fucking reason I said fuck it and bought different snails in the first place!! Thanks Will!
*Broke a total of 5 bolts off in the original turbo's turbine housing when I was removing it...
Coming Together...
Installed....
Yes I know the heat shield is bent.. I did that on purpose.
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU PLZ DIE PLZ DIE PLZ DIE!!!
12AM on the dot, she is finished...FINALLY!!
Except for Alternator, A/C compressor, Belt, and Oil Feed lines...
Oil feed lines should be here later in the week...
