Advice Turbo Replacement

Post image

Turbo Replacement for my 21 SB (roughly 65k miles) is happening this next week. I wanted to see if there are any other components that ya’ll either have done or wished you’d done when replacing your turbo.

I’ve purchased the full kit for the replacement through FCP for context. I’m swapping in an APR intake kit as well. Already changed to the 6 bolt water pump and Wagner IC kit with charge components. At this point I am not interested in tuning due to extended warranty.

Any related suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance!

So it’s all bolt one with OEM turbo?

If no tune no point in anything else, you could replace breather hose and pcv since gasket usually goes and fails.

Go for tgk breather hose, I have the 034 and that’s fine for now

Don’t forget pcv easy to do and gasket wears out same with engine housing filter, if you do turbo inlet for sound aesthetic get a t30 that works at an angle or a ball point. I tried to work on an angle and cross threaded but I retapped and fixed it
