Hi -

Requesting advice. I am in the middle of 4-part job on my daughter's 2006 sport combi:

1) Repair CHMSL (high mount brake light) w. new LED's - DONE
2) New EVAP solenoid/check valve/hose assembly - DONE
3) Turbo to exhaust manifold gasket - PROBLEM w studs =(
4) Re-replace the NAPA/Felpro front crank seal (all I could get same day) I can let this go if I have too, it's okay for now.

I have 2 left side Turbo studs out, but the other two are stubborn ! Evaluating my options, so opinions are welcome, and experience even more so !! I was hoping to do this without removing the turbo from its cooling and oil lines.

I will try not to touch the exhaust manifold gasket and studs, because it is not leaking now, and I don't want to deal w. broken studs. I bought this car about 3 1/2 years ago. When I replaced motor mounts I discovered two of them were really bad, and the turbo support brace was broken. I suspect this contributed to the leak between the exhaust manifold and the turbo.

Questions:

1) Anyone ever trim out the gasket and slot it on the outer edge to slide it into place ? With the 2 left studs out, and the nuts off the other two I could try this (cutting the old gasket out will be a pain).

2) Is my best route just to bite the bullet and fully remove the turbo - risking leaks for oil and coolant that are not there now ?

3) Any other thoughts beside these two options ??

Thanks !
