Hi
Just wondering if anyone can advice me on a turbo removal (2007 prado d4d 1kd) do i need to take off the exhaust manifold or can it be squeezed out the top or bottom?
Any advice welcomed.
Thanks Regards Tony

Hey mate,
I’ve done the same job (without removing the exhaust manifold)! Although probably should have because it was almost impossible and took me a full day, Just to find out it was my egr valve dirty and not sealing properly causing low boost. But it is possible to do just not very easy.

cheers wes.
