:) Guys went to move turbo air outlet around and down for intercooling piping, taken out the two bolts holding the acuator but it does not want move around iam scared i am going to break the aluminium housing.
there is a large ser clip behind the housing but i dont think that has to be moved HEEEEEEEELP

Step 1: Unbolt the wastegate actuator.

Step 2: Wrap a rag around the end of a big bar.

Step 3: Place big bar with rag inside turbo outlet.

Step 4: Pull.

You don't need to undo the circlip.

:o Thanks cookie iwill try that but it still scares me' all that pressure on cast aluminium i hope i dont break it

I've done it 3 times on 3 seperate turbos... no problems.

Cookie tryed to move with 2by1 3foot long moved car up in the air on passenger side and broke 2b1 edge on, tough that aluminium
still didnt move housing, any suggestions

Bloody hell.. is that turbo compressor housing welded in place or something? Is should rotate relatively easy. with a 3 foot bar I hardly had to use any pressure at all to move the housing in all cases.

You may have to bite the bullet and remove turbo and dis-assemble it.

cookie when i did this to a td05 there was a small circular metal slug just inside the compressor housing which slotted into a groove and so stopped the housing from moving. i had to remove (chisel :D) it in order for the housing to rotate. surely the earlier turbo's also had this? at any rate its not a difficult job, 1 pair of circlip pliers and a socket for that ring that goes around the outside of the turbo and away you go.

A big bar? I just undid the circlip and it rotated by hand. Maybe they just get really tight with age

maybe you just dont know your own strength

i have heaps in bits, they all have pins, some are pulled out, some are sheared off. just crc the clip, goto bed and pull it off the next day and have a look.

Lots of WD40 and a big bar. Thats how its done ala Cookiemonster.
BTW its easier with the turbo on the ground and out of the car.

Cheers

I've rotated 2 TC-06's and a TD-06. There was no circular metal slug in any of them. The circlip did not need to be touched to rotate the housing.

I can see the Mitsubishi production line now...
"metal slug for you"
"no metal slug for you"
"metal slug for you"
"no metal slug for you"

Those whacky Japs. :)

or maybe just T*05s have a slug?

:D Thanks guys for your imput on this problem iwill take it all under my belt and see what i con do. by the way it is a TCO6-11A
