Cp-e Manifold and Turbo

[Last_Loser]

Ok so before I go any farther trying to get this shit out lemme ask...I am trying to get the manifold and turbo out all as one piece, has anyone had any luck doing that? Has anyone installed it that way or removed it like that? I unbolted the rmm like I did to install the manifold but it seems as if my tmm is hindering it from moving up enough...Ive given up for the night just wanted to see if it was even possible before I spend more time trying to do it that way or it I should just separate and pull it that way.

I have lifted and lowered my cpe mani with the 3076 bolted on it many times now, all motor mounts still in place. What you do is to remove the windshield cowl+wipers+wiper motor and also the plate under the cowl that runs along the engine bay.

Here is a pic of how it looked after I removed all that and lowered mani+turbo down into place:


One more thing you can do to make it easier is to cut the hardpipe that points out from between the mani and windshield. I cut that down to about 1"

Ok I'll give that a shot...my problem seems to be when I pull the manifold off the studs and try to rotate it forward to pull it out the compressor housing hits that metal piece on the firewall however doing what you did I should just be able to lift it right up. Thanks man
