Re: installing pte44, dp & 50's
If you were closer, Id come help.
Soak the bolts on the DP and turbo with WD-40 and let it sit for a few hours. Remove the 02 sensor as well so you can drop the DP out the bottom, dont try to bring it from the top... to much work.
To get the turbo off the manifold, I actually had to end up removing my manifold. Easy to get off, a bitch to put back on. Avoid it if you can. I never replaced any gaskets on mine, I was just careful and took my time taking everything off. Make sure if you do take the manifold off, keep track of the heat shields, you'll need em back on
Only trick I can say for install on the new turbo.... on my 52, when putting it on the manifold, I had to hold it up evenly and tighten the nuts in small increments evenly around as well. I dont know if the 44 has the same housing as the 52 (.85 exhaust) but if it does, you cant just sit it down and put the nuts on...the shape of housing around the nut location doesnt allow it... hence why you have to hold it and slowly tightly it down evenly.
For the 50#s, I went ahead and yanked off the upper, which Ive done in the past, so no biggie. It was just easier to work that so I could make sure to clean out any debris from the old injectors and make sure the 50#s were seated properly.

16mm stubby wrench and a zawzall for the exhaust and DP....also the stock exhaust won't bolt up the dp
