Turbocharger - RH: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 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.
All vehicles
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
- Drain the engine cooling system. Refer to ENGINE COOLING .
- Remove the Air Cleaner (ACL) outlet pipe, RH ACL pipe to-turbocharger pipe, RH turbocharger bypass hose and the RH turbocharger-to-Charge Air Cooler (CAC) pipe. Refer to Intake Air System Components - Exploded View, 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) in INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING .
- Remove the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor belt. Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE .
- Remove the 3 A/C
compressor bolts and position the A/C
compressor aside.
- Remove the exhaust Y-pipe - dual catalytic converter. Refer to

.
Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles
NOTE: The exhaust Y-pipe - dual catalytic converter procedure requires the removal of the transmission insulator and retainer and the transmission crossmember. The transmission insulator and retainer and the transmission crossmember must be installed to continue the procedure. - Install the transmission insulator and retainer and the 3 transmission insulator and retainer bolts.
- Tighten to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
- Install the transmission crossmember and the 4 transmission crossmember nuts and bolts (2 each side).
- Tighten to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
- Lower the transmission onto the transmission crossmember and install the 2 transmission insulator and retainer nuts.
- Tighten to 103 Nm (75 lb-ft).
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
NOTE: The exhaust Y-pipe - dual catalytic converter procedure requires the removal of the transmission insulator and retainer and the transmission crossmember. The transmission insulator and retainer and the transmission crossmember must be installed to continue the procedure. - Loosely install the transmission insulator and retainer and the 4 transmission insulator and retainer bolts.
- Position the transmission crossmember and loosely install the 2 transmission insulator and retainer nuts.
- Install the 4 transmission crossmember bolts and nuts.
- Tighten the transmission insulator and retainer bolts to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
- Tighten the transmission crossmember bolts and nuts to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
