Hey guys,
Tragically, the turbocharger took a dive in my '92 Typhoon last week so I devoted this entire weekend to repairing the sickly snail. Fun times! :lol: For those of you who are interested I have decided to post up an informative walk-through on the removal & installation process:

1) Drain the engine cooling system, then remove the air intake duct and the turbocharger air intake duct.
2) Disconnect the negative battery cable, followed by the positive cable from the battery.
3) Loosen the battery hold-down clamp and remove the battery from the vehicle.
4) Remove the battery tray and vacuum tank.
5) Remove the nut and disconnect the turbocharger oil feed line, then disengage the electrical connector from the solenoid.
6) Loosen the turbocharger coolant return line clamp nut, then disconnect the coolant return line assembly.
7) Raise and support the front of the truck safely using jack stands.
8) Remove the right tire and wheel, then remove the wheelhouse panel retaining screws and remove the panel for access.
9) If necessary, disengage the oxygen sensor electrical connector, then remove the nut from the turbocharger and the bolt from the outlet pipe support bracket. Remove the clamp from the catalytic converter and bolts from the converter support, then remove the turbocharger outlet pipe.
10) Remove the retaining bolts from the turbocharger oil return pipe, then remove the return pipe and gasket from the turbocharger assembly.
11) Remove the turbocharger mounting nuts.
12) Disconnect the coolant feed line from the turbocharger, then remove the turbocharger assembly.
13) Inspect and clean the turbocharger and manifold mounting surfaces.
14) Position the turbocharger, then connect the coolant feed pipe with gaskets and loosely install the bolt.
15) Loosely install the turbocharger mounting nuts followed by the oil feed pipe line fitting.
16) Tighten the coolant feed pipe bolt to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm), then the turbocharger mounting nuts to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm) and the oil feed line fitting to 13 ft. lbs. (16 Nm).
17) Connect the turbocharger oil return pipe and gaskets, then tighten the line bolt to 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm).
18) Connect the turbocharger coolant return line assembly and tighten the line nut to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm). Secure the coolant return line clamp and tighten to 16 inch lbs. (1.8 Nm).
19) Install the turbocharger outlet pipe to the catalytic converter and turbocharger. Install the nuts to the turbocharger, then clamp to the converter, the bolts to the converter support and the bolt to the outlet pipe bracket. Tighten the turbocharger nuts to 41 ft. lbs. (55 Nm), the converter clamp nuts to 42 ft. lbs. (57 Nm), the support bracket bolt to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) and the converter support bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).
20) If disengaged, connect the oxygen sensor wiring to the harness.
21) Install the wheelhousing panel, then install the tire and wheel assembly. Remove the jack stands and carefully lower the vehicle.
22) Engage the turbocharger solenoid electrical connector.
23) Install the battery tray and vacuum tank.
24) Install the battery and secure using the hold-down clamp.
25) Install the air intake duct and the turbocharger air intake duct.
26) Connect the positive cable, then the negative cable to the battery.
27) Properly refill the engine cooling system.
This is the entire procedure in all of its gory glory. This is a bit of a PITA so good luck to all who undertakes the job! :tup:
