Turbo replacement

[Dekero]

So I started on swapping the Turbo today on my 2013 X5 35i. 209k

And just want to say.... I don't care what you've done to your E70, until you've tackled the turbo... You ain't shyt...and I include the oil pan gasket in this statement.. way easier.... Nothing about this job has been or is easy...

2 days in and nowhere near done...and the car has been kicking and screaming the whole way...

I wouldn't say it's hard, but it's definitely labor intensive as it takes time to do it…but having all the right tools expedite the process

I've got a huge tool collection and I agree the right tool sure helps...

But my lord you get one thing pulled and the next thing takes 2 other extensions a wobble and whatever...

I've about had enough of this job... I do not recommend anyone with low level skills try it...

My personal favorite is working on the lower intakes on the s63/n63.
