Do you have to remove the exhaust mani to install this line? Looks like there is no room to operate there and wondering if someone had tips/tricks to do it w/out removing anything. Its for a sr with t28

your talking about the one facing the block right?

if so it might be easier do it under the car

the line going to the block doesn't seem problematic. It's the side that bolts to the turbo. It looks like it's in b/w the underside of the manifold and on top of turbo.

It's easier for me to remove the manifold.
At least I keep my sanity that way.

I put all the lines on the turbo, then bolt up the manifold, then connect the lines to the block, water jacket, etc.

Yeah you gotta remove it. The oil line that goes to the chra (center of the turbo) is really hard to reach even when the turbo is removed, its not the greatest area to work with and trust me you want that line not to be cross threaded or not tight.

Agreed. I curse even with the turbo out.
