Replacing a Turbo in a 2003 (pictures coming soon)
So I am replacing my turbo (which has been quite the project) because it had an oil leak somewhere. I ordered an aftermarket turbo from CX racing that was suppose to fit, but when I took the old turbo off, to my surprise, the son of a bitch had a different gasket shape to the exhaust manifold (the OEM has a kinda trapezoid shape while the new turbo has a rectangular shape). Unfortunately, this rip and replace project is turning to an actually project. I think I am going to have to get the headers fabricated (probably $600) and if it moves the position of the turbo enough I am also gonna need a longer Air Intake tube to the turbo, and a new down pipe. ****ty.
If anyone knows of a shop that specializes in Volvo performance and tuning aswell as fabrication, please let me know, it would be much appreciated. I just want to spool my shiny turbo up!
