This rubber line in question is the ontly thing that makes it a pain change out a turbo. There was a clamp on the one I worked on. I don't know why people quote 4+ hours. A turbo change is a 2hr job max...it does help to have a FMIC since reinstalling a TMIC is a PITA.

The biggest probem getting a turbo on the car is trying to get the turbo's oil return spout into the rubber return line. The clamp hinders you because you have to leave it in the correct position and try to cram the turbo in. Due to total lack of room with the intake manifold in place, there is no way to put the clamp on after the fact....or is there?

1) Before putting the turbo on. Open the clamp and use a ziptie to hold it open. Leave at least a couple inches of excess on the ziptie.

2) Place the clamp on the hose with the ziptied end facing the front of the car.

3) Smear a little oilt onthe entrance of the hose and on the spout of the tubro, then put the turbo on. The may require some finess, but it will be a lot easier since the clamp is a non-issue.

4) Using one of those 3 fingered flexible shaft thingies, used to grab small items out of tight places, grab the clamp and put it into position. It shouldn't be so loose that it will fall once you let go.

5) Use a very hobby knife (X-acto) to cut the ziptie to close the clamp. You could also burn thru the ziptie. Remove the ziptie with the previously mentioned tool.
