I have a CBFA engine and not a CCTA one so I have to wait for a turbo again.

Also I stripped the mounting bolt. Icon tools are no joke.

Good news is I have oil and coolant in my hair and it’s still $2,000 cheaper than what my mechanic quoted.

Update: Got a new turbo. Put the new turbo in. Still no boost. Checked my work and connected the charge pipe. Still no boost. Also an oil leak.

At the mechanic now to check if the cats are clogged and limiting exhaust flow

    Pittsburgh till they break, then get the Icon

    Unless you know you’re gonna use them like a bunch of Torx bits and then you buy the good ones from the start.

    Also, semi-pro tip, use wrenches on bits for extra leverage or clearance. Almost got that fucking turbo out thanks to a 15mm box-end.
