help on milltek sports cat and downpipe

[redcupraboy]

hello just looking for some advice really on the fitment of the above to my ibiza cupra.i took my car to a local exhaust shop to have it fitted this morning and il be honest iv been excited to see what difference it will make to the car, i supplied them with new gasket from rear of turbo to downpipe and the studs and bolts in case anything broke, i went up to see how they were getting on and they have said they cant fit it as they cant undo the bolts from the back of turbo as they are too difficult to get to and they said its a turbo off job and they arent interested in doing it????? i dont know that much about fitting the above but im sure its not a turbo off job to fit it tho? help im so frustrated and kinda gutted oh well!

Find someone else who is competant at fitting exhausts to do it. They obviously dont want your money.

its not a turbo off job if you got the right tools which they should have

they either need to be frequently oiled until they undo or be heated up

Take it somewhere else mate.. as others have said the turbo doesn't need to be removed at all.. if they think that then I wouldn't trust them fitting it to my car.

You can get all 4 bolts off from below.

it takes a 16mm socket, 3 or 4 wobble bars, and 2 nuckle joints

tho when putting back on it is good to get an old scrap 16mm spanner, heat it and put a 45 degree kink in it.

reason you cannot put all 4 nuts back on from below when miltek is fitted is the extra diameter of the miltek pipe

its not really all that difficult a job, just a little fiddly.

and turbo off?? WTF?? you cant get the turbo off unless you have the DP off

i'm no mechanic i just took it to my mates garage and used its ramps and tools, took me about and hour and a half and a cut knuckle. soaked it all in wd40 and used uj's on long wobble bars to get it.
