I need to remove the turbo extension, the part that connects the turbo to the downpipe. I was wondering how hard it is to take out? So all i need to do is remove the 5 nuts that connect it to the turbo?

I have found the easiest way to do it, is to sell it along with the T25 to someone with a CA18 and just buy a brandnew T28 :D

Seriously, it all depends on how much rust there is. Shouldnt be that hard with a decent set of tools...

5 bolts to the exhaust turbine. 3 to the down pipe. Hit that crap with some 'liquid wrench' or pb and it shouldn't give ya too much trouble.

if worst comes to worst, break 'em off and use a straight flute extractor from snap on. i have to do it all the time. actually, it sucks so avoid it at all cost by soaking overnight in pb blaster or nissan rust penetrant.

i just took mine off last weekend, wasn't hard at all. hit it with some pb blaster and go eat lunch. come back and it should be ready to go.the bolt closes to the strut tower on the bottom was the only one i couldn't get a full size wrench on. better get a stubby
