Superior Wheel Installation Guide
This is the process used to install the Turbo Wheel without having to remove the Turbo from your
Engine. It should take a maximum of 5 hours.
Procedure:
• Start by removing the Intake hose
o Remove all of the Intake tubes, exposing the turbo inlet.
o Remove the 2 bolts from the CCV intake mount.
o Move the CCV mount, exposing the 2 Philips screws. Remove the CCV filter from the valve cover. (watch for the O rings)
• Loosen the “V” clamp that connects the turbo to the “Y” pipe.
• Remove the waste gate actuator off the turbo housing followed by the compressor housing. (Remove the 2 bolts that hold the Waste gate actuator to the turbo, move it up and back)
• Loosen the “V” clamp that connects the turbo to the down (exhaust) pipe. Drop the down pipe (the clamp for the down pipe is a pain to break loose just loosen the bolt on it shoot it with some PB blaster tap it with a long screw driver and a hammer and it will pop loose).
• Remove all the bolts (5/16ths) from the turbo housing. (you will need the 6″ wobbly to remove
the bottom back bolt, due to the valve cover) Split the turbo, exposing the stock turbo wheel.
• With a screwdriver, wrapped with tape, insert it in the exhaust side of the turbo, just enough to get a screwdriver in there to keep the turbine from turning when you remove the old wheel. Catch one of the vanes, with the 5/8ths wrench; remove the stock wheel (left to loosen). Make sure you use a clean rag, the vanes are razor sharp. Loosen the bolts with the ratchet, and then use a cordless screwdriver to back everything out.
• Install the Superior Wheel, Torque to 100 inch pounds (or, real snug. it’s tightening in it direction of rotation).
• Remove the old wheel.
• Reverse the assembly procedure and you are done.
• Install the new Compressor wheel, (Do Not Over-tighten) hand tight, and then using a wrench about a 1/4 turn. Same as in removal, then Tighten with the ratchet.
• Make sure when you put the down pipe back that you have it aligned right so the clamp seats good and that the exhaust is not rubbing anywhere. PS: After the install, and after 4 or 5 warm-up cool-downs, check and re-tighten all turbo bolts. Use Red Loc-titer.
