Removing my Turbo, Need some advice

If it's a top mount it wouldn't take more than a weekend to revert it to stock if you have all the parts.

From what you describe it sound like you're getting fuel cut from a bad pump or clogged filter. Could also be spark blow out. Don't drive your car because fuel cut causes a lean condition which will eventually blow your headgasket or worse. I think your problems are unrelated to the turbo. Change your plugs, get a new fuel pump, change fuel filter. Then come back with more questions. Those 3 things can easily be done in a day, just google how to do them.


Someone probably put many hours putting that turbo on. Why undo all that instead of spending a few hours troubleshooting it.

Wait what? I hope this is a joke... If serious, then first sit and think why you would do this to yourself? ha, Well, I say take it to a shop that knows these cars and knows turbos.
Let me know if you need all the stock parts. I have them all. Heck, let me do the work... that car can be back to stock in less than a day, and way less than 1k. It would feel better to see its full potential as it is though.... turbo.

I'm willing to bet it was sold un-tuned or the fueling is wrong. Give us a shot of the engine bay.

It won't take more than a weekend as mentioned to remove the stuff.
You should be able to do it literally in a day.

The hardest part is probably the turbo/manifold/downpipe assuming you're able to get a wrench in there. Everything else is just vac lines and clamps.

I think there's a banana in the tailpipe.

I'll take off your turbo and all the components in trade for my labor and putting all the stock stuff back on the engine. PM me if you're interested.

Good deal here.
