looking at the heart of the beast Posted by Tom G [Email] ![]() ![]() |
88 900 TC
What I thought was a bad cat turned into changing the entire exhaust from the exhaust manifold back. Got a great deal from one of the site sponsors.
While I was in there, I decided to change the gasket between the turbo and the exhaust manifold.
An exercise in stuck bolts 101. I was successful and managed to change the gasket.
As I've never seen the insides of a Saab turbo, it was interesting to see all the power that comes from that tiny wheel.
Also, I was lucky that all the parts unbolted relatively easy. No broken studs or knuckles. Usually with my luck, the exhaust on a car this old only comes apart with a cutting torch.
Back together will be with generous amounts of anti-seize.
If anyone's doing this job, let me know and I can give pointers, but only for about a week till I forget.
