manifold gasket

[Firesong]

Hey there
Im going to be replacing my turbo in the near future
with another of the same beast. (I think mine is on the way out)
It has come to my attention it's a good idea to replace
the manifold gasket while doing the turbo. Whatcha all think?
Is this something that I won't have to much problem
doing on my own if I am already in there? What's entailed
in doing it?
Remove turbo, remove some nuts, manifold slides off,
swear a bit at the old gasket and put the new one on
and reverse the procedure?
Let me know whatcha think.
My mechanical knowledge is pretty much based on
what I've done to my old VW pancake motor.

Its good to have a die grinder or dremmel or something like that so you can "really clean" the mating surface. Any little bits of crap left
on there are trouble. Those little "rolock" abrasive pads are great for getting around studs and taking it right down to the metal. Good
luck.
