### Turbocharger

#### REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

##### 3.0L (VG30DETT) Engine

###### Right Side

1. Remove the right side of the cowl panel and remove the battery.
2. Remove the air inlet hoses and pipes from the turbocharger.
3. Disconnect the lower pipe from the turbocharger.
4. Remove the automatic speed control bracket with wiper motor and solenoid valves.
5. Disconnect the oxygen sensor harness connector.
6. Disconnect the water tubes and oil inlet from the turbocharger. Cap the tubes to prevent contaminants from entering the system
7. Remove the front exhaust tube and the three-way catalyst assembly.
8. Remove the oil pressure switch.
9. Remove the oil filter.
10. Remove the turbocharger oil return tube. Cap the tube to prevent contaminants from entering the oil.
11. Disconnect the oil hose from the oil filter bracket.
12. Remove the rod pin from the wastegate valve actuator.
13. Remove the oil filter bracket.
14. Unbend the locking plates for turbocharger fastening nuts.
15. Remove the turbocharger fastening nuts and remove the turbocharger from the vehicle.

    To install:

16. Using new gaskets, install the turbocharger unit. Tighten the turbocharger attaching nuts to 20–23 ft. lbs. (27–31 Nm).
17. Bend the locking tabs around the nuts that secure the turbocharger.
18. Reconnect the oil filter bracket. Tighten the bracket attaching bolts to 12–15 ft. lbs. (16–21 Nm).
19. Install the rod pin of wastegate valve actuator.
20. Using new gaskets, reconnect the oil hose to the turbocharger.
21. Using new gaskets, reconnect the oil return and water return tubes. Tighten the tube attaching bolts and nuts to 12–15 ft. lbs. (16–21 Nm).
22. Install a new oil filter.
23. Install the oil pressure switch.
24. Using a new gasket, install the front exhaust tube and three-way catalyst assembly. Tighten the catalyst-to-turbocharger bolts to 18–22 ft. lbs. (25–29 Nm).
25. Using new gaskets, install the water and oil inlet tubes. Tighten the nuts to 11–14 ft. lbs. (15–20 Nm).
26. The balance of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
27. Check the oil and coolant levels; add oil or coolant if necessary.
28. Start the engine and check the turbocharger for proper operation.

###### Left Side

1. Remove the master cylinder and power brake booster.
2. Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connector.
3. Remove the air inlet hose and pipe.
4. Disconnect the lower pipe from the turbocharger.
5. Disconnect the water tubes and oil inlet tube from the turbocharger. Cap the tube to prevent contaminants from entering the system
6. Remove the front exhaust pipe and three way catalyst assembly.
7. Disconnect the lower steering joint.
8. Disconnect the turbocharger oil return tube. Cap the tube to prevent contaminants from entering the oil.
9. Disconnect the EGR tube and the turbocharger wastegate valve actuator bracket.
10. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield.
11. Remove the left side exhaust manifold attaching nuts.
12. Remove the left side exhaust manifold and turbocharger as an assembly.

    To install:

13. Using new gaskets, install the left side exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly. Tighten the exhaust manifold bolts to 17–20 ft. lbs. (24–27 Nm).
14. Install the exhaust manifold heat shield.
15. Reconnect the EGR tube and the turbocharger wastegate valve actuator bracket.
16. Using new gaskets, reconnect the oil return tube. Tighten the tube attaching bolts to 12–15 ft. lbs. (16–21 Nm).
17. Reconnect the lower steering joint.
18. Using new gaskets, install the front exhaust pipe and three way catalyst assembly. Tighten the catalyst to turbocharger bolts to 18–22 ft. lbs. (25–29 Nm).
19. Using new gaskets, reconnect the water tubes and oil inlet tube to the turbocharger. Tighten the nuts to 11–14 ft. lbs. (15–20 Nm).
20. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.
21. Start the engine and check the turbocharger for proper operation.
