Turbo removal problem
Ok so I was getting excited because I finally get to do some major upgrades to my 951. As I was trying to remove the turbo of course 4 bolts are rusted and frozen which is typical for the age. Any suggestions?

PBlaster and lots of heat. A well guided MAPP flame to get the bolts at least cherry red followed by a wrench (or vise grips if the flats no longer exist or disintegrate if wrenched on) before it cools too much. Plan B would be to twist all of them off in the hopes that it will come apart and they can be replaced. I'm not familiar with the turbo cars...is it through bolts and nuts, studs and nuts, or bolts threaded into a flange?

I used BP blast and Mapp gas to get the 4 fasteners loose. Let the blast sit on there for atleast a day. Be very carefull because you can only get one arm up there to remove one of them as one side is welded on and the other is not. You don't want to strip that one. It has been awhile but I might have gotten some loose from up top and some from underneath the car. I jacked my car up high enough so I could slide underneath it. Put jack stands under neath it of course. This was not an easy job to remove everything but I had to do it because I smelled oil under boost in the cabin on my car.
