Default APS Twin Turbo, Starter Replacement

Hey guys,

I'm almost finished with my build, but I realized I forgot to put the starter in. After trying a few things, I realized I might have made a huge mistake as I can't figure out how I can easily get in in. It doesn't appear as if there's enough clearance if I drop the power A/C compressor, and I can't come from around the back due to the power steering column being in the way.

Before I try removing the power steering column, is there any known trick to getting the start in and out on an APS twin car?

This.

It shares a wiring harness with the alternator.


I was able to do the swap on my greddy TT kit by just removing the oil return line. Downpipe stayed in place. Was super easy.

Yep I'm an idiot. That's pretty embarrassing -- I was out there throwing tools thinking I made a huge mistake by forgetting to put it in.

I'm guessing there is a plate I forgot to put on the drivers side?

Priceless. As soon as I read your post I looked to see if you were in a country with RHD. Send me a PM if you would like to make this all disappear
