really, any good turbo shop will leave assembly lube oil on the shaft/bearings... it's always a good idea to pre-lube the turbo, but if you've ever watched a mechanical oil pressure gauge connected to one of these turbos, there's really no need to pre-lube a turbo if your engine is in good shape

Damn never need to prelube ... ouch !!!! always pre lube a new turbo fill it and spin it by hand man , when you get in to VGTs and your customers are paying an arm and a leg for a turbo you better damn well pre lube that thing !!

ATS calls for 45ft pds, for head bolts.
Anyone putting new turbo on should
pre lube, or risk damage.

the same thing for a german bra "keepsemflomfloppen"

I always pre-lube a new turbo, my point is it's unlikely to cause any damage if you don't

i know when i get this new turbo in from Engineered Diesel im going to fill this to the top with oil just as a precaution:thumbsup:

Sorry guys I meant Exhaust manifold Bolts.
Some times when I wake up in
the morning,I don't think straight.
and spin it a few times.

I fill it and spin it by hand and it'll suck the oil down into the center... do that a few times, and reconnect the feed line

I just did this last weekend.......just like said take turbo and manifold off together and good to go.
it helps to take out the bolts holding the coolant line so that it can move and give u an easier way to get to the bolts.
exhaust gasket set was $25 at Oreillys

the gasket for the oil drain on the bottom of the turbo is a dodge only part(atleast no one in my town had it) so dont mess that up.

one of our guys went to HFD about a yr ago and he loves it.

[TEX]

[nastygreymegacab]

check the blades inside the front, make sure they arent chipped or bent or anything, thats what happend to mine and it sounded like a damn dentist drill/ mustang supercharger.

 

[TEX]
