Replacing turbo bypass pipe.
Hi....has anyone replaced the pipe that runs across the top of the gearbox from the right hand exhaust manifold to the turbo by the left hand manifold?
It looks like a gearbox out or body off job!!

First pointer: Take the box out!!
On a serious note can be done with the box in but its a pain in the !! Where it joins the drivers side manifold there is a stud, to access the nut you need to get to it from the other side of the pipe i.e coming in from front of engine!!
