Xdrive turbo inlet install advice?
So my charge pipe broke on my 2016 BMW M235i Xdrive and I decided well I will change our the charge pipe, the intercooler, the turbo outlet, and turbo inlet (assumed it would be easier to get to with the others out of the way) mainly with the goal of reliability.
All the videos from Kies and Fritz Ramos etc are on RWD cars and manual trans which makes the process deceivingly different. I finally have everything OFF the car except for the turbo inlet and am trying to access the 10mm nut but the nut is waaay up there and there are hoses in the way so am unsure if accessing from the bottom is the way to go even though that is what the videos have said. Anyone who has done this process have any advice? I really want to start putting the car back together. |

I have yet to do it successfully. I got the charge pipe out which was a bitch, the intercooler out, and the turbo outlet/other intercooler pipe out. Which is when I was working on the turbo inlet and I cant get to the nut thats holding the plastic pipe on coming off the turbo. I have tried ratcheting wrenches from below and sockets from above with different size extensions there is just some wires and hoses and everything else it seems in the way
