Clutch question

[Trying my best]

Hi all,

I've never done a clutch so bear with me. I just installed my old style banks turbo, then my clutch started to slip. Oh fun. I would imagine that I have to pull the up pipes, besides that do I have to uninstall any other turbo parts?

Thanks

I think it could technically be done with the up pipes in place, but it'd be a good time to inspect the flanges.
You shouldn't need to remove the turbo "y-pipe."
The only other thing I could think of is the downpipe, just disconnect it from the turbo and push it off to the side.

I would also install a SMF while in there.
You need to use thread sealant on the crankshaft bolts if you remove them.

Thanks. I did get the smf, all I need is get the time, and the nerve to do it.

You say this happened right after installing the turbo... are you certain that you dont have an oil leak slobbering out from your feed line to the turbo, or from the drain to the valley pan dribbling over the back of the engine onto the clutch? CHeck the simple things before surgery. Even if you do the clutch, when you are in there , remove the adapter plate and apply some sealer between the adapter plate and block, then sealer between the bellhousing and adapter , this is to prevent future fuel and oil leaks from contaminating your new clutch. just dont use silicone or you'll have a pain getting it apart, use something like hylomar that you can remove

Thanks....I haven't thought of that, I'll look to see if that happened. And good tip on the hylomar.
