How to Remove a 7.3 Turbo

    • 2). Unclip and remove the air filter housing. Disconnect the inlet and outlet intercooler ducts from the turbocharger manifold with a screwdriver or wrench to loosen the clamps.

    • 3). Label the three electrical connections on the turbo manifold with masking tape and a marker so you will remember which connector they go back on.

    • 7). Slide the retaining clip from the actuator lever arm and disconnect the actuator rod from the turbocharger with a wrench. Label the wastegate solenoid vacuum hose with the masking tape and marker.

    • 8). Loosen the hose clamps on the turbo inlet ducts with a wrench and remove them.

    • 9). Raise the vehicle with a jack and lower it onto jack stands. Loosen and remove the exhaust outlet pipe and brace from the catalytic converter with a wrench.
