HELP: Greddy TT kit, Turbo Oil Feed line
I just noticed that I am leaking oil from the turbo feed line that is tapped to my Greddy pan. It's the turbo feed line located right above the intercooler pipe. Is there any other way to replacing this line without dropping the motor?
Obviously, the bottom is easily done but seems like there is not much option trying to reach the line from the turbo. Anyone experienced this without having to drop the motor??
thx in advance.

I just need to double check before I place an order for replacement.
Thanks

I found some time to work on the car this weekend. I manage to take off the intake pipe and the ac compressor but I am bit lost at this point. I don't see much room and pathway to drop the turbo from the bottom. I can barely see and feel the bolts on the exhaust side.
What would be my next step in dropping the turbo?
perhaps this will help??

i used two cut wrenchs then did the box end on the cut end trick to break the nuts (custom moon wrench haha!) To drop the turbo make sure the intake piping and couplings are off and then you should be able to wiggle them out. Hammering in the engine mount shield thingy helps as well. I did 20gs twice this past summer. It is tricky the first time but can be done.
*Note loosening the vband clamps a little to turn the turbine housing can help too.

on my 18s I removed the engine mounts (1 side at a time) by using my floor jack to raise the engine up ~6" - there is a procedure here to follow which I can go into when I'm not tired but this will open up a lot of room.
