Title: TTE turbo kit removal - how many workshop hours?
Post by: Bugster_MR2 on May 5, 2020, 16:35
Hi

I am considering slaughtering my TTE turbo MR2, to use the complete turbokit on my other MR2.

How many hours of wrenching will it take to remove the turbo, exhaust, piggyback, decklid fan and so on, and put the OE parts back on? I have access to a lift and proper tools.

A full days work would see you remove the turbo kit and return to standard, then fit the kit to the other mr2

I'm about 6 months and still counting, sure with more motivation it could be done much quicker though  :)
