can you install a turbo inlet while the motor is still hot?

[stageup]

was planning to install the turbo inlet today and went and got food just now *DOH*
can you do the install or do i have to wait a few hours now for it to cool off?

I wouldn't recommend it just because I did my intake like that and it was hell.

rofl asses,
i guess i'll wait 3-4 hours and do it tonight
totally forgot and went to get food argh

i waited 1 hr and did it so you've got 20 min to finish eating. bet the stocker comes off the turbo by just tugging it.

 

[stageup]

oh im sure it will
so is there any way w/o a long screwdriver to get the clamp tightened on the turbo side?

 

[karl hungus]

long screwdriver or some extensions. i went w/ the long screwdriver. it's not too bad going at that screw from above. 10 more miniutes. time to start taking out your battery.

Dude your car should be cool enough to work on it. Definitely get an extension or a long screwdriver. With out that it's a total PITA.
