Turbocharger - RH: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Whenever turbocharger air intake system components are removed, always cover open ports to protect from debris. It is important that no foreign material enter the system. The turbocharger compressor blades are susceptible to damage from even small particles. All components should be inspected and cleaned, if necessary, prior to installation or reassembly.
