Turbo change ... DIY Job?
Hi .. Is a turbo change (upgrade) on a 2.4 puma a reasonable DIY job or one to be left to the local garage? I'm quite capable but can't find a guide anywhere so was thinking it might not be a DIY job. Thanks 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X

Assuming you're moderately competent there's no reason why not.

45 min Shocked Bow down

took me 5 hours to fit the hybrid. Mind you i did change all the exhaust and turbo manifold studs /gaskets and bolts and renewed the oil feed pipe. What you will definitely need is a heat source (oxy acet) and the relevant toolkit. Thumbs Up

I took mine on and off a lot at the beginning of the development for the bas hybrid I could even do it in the dark
