  • Disconnect the oil feed and drain lines.
  • Unplug any electrical connectors.
  • Remove the mounting bolts securing the turbo to the manifold.
  • Carefully lift the turbo out of the engine bay.

Installing the Precision Turbo

Now that the old turbo is removed, it’s time to install your new Precision Turbo. Follow these steps carefully:

  • Clean the mounting surface on the exhaust manifold.
  • Place a new gasket on the manifold.
  • Position the Precision Turbo onto the manifold.
  • Secure the turbo using the mounting bolts, tightening them to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Reconnect the oil feed and drain lines, ensuring they are secure and leak-free.
  • If your model requires a coolant line, connect it now.

Connecting the Intake and Exhaust

Once the turbo is mounted, you need to connect the intake and exhaust components:

  • Attach the intake piping to the turbo inlet.
  • Secure the connections with clamps.
  • Connect the exhaust downpipe to the turbo outlet.
  • Tighten all bolts and clamps to ensure a proper fit.

Starting the Engine

With everything in place, it’s time to start your engine. Follow these steps:

  • Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
  • Check for any unusual sounds or leaks.
  • Monitor the oil pressure gauge to ensure proper function.

Testing Performance

After confirming everything is functioning correctly, take your vehicle for a test drive. Pay attention to:

  • Boost levels and response.
  • Engine temperatures.
  • Overall performance improvements.

Conclusion

Installing a Precision Turbo can be a rewarding project that enhances your vehicle’s performance. By following these steps, you can ensure a successful installation of the 6266, 7670, or 8374 models. Always remember to consult your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.
