Make sure you reattach the drain pipe from the turbo to sump. I forgot and have spent the last 30mins trying to clean 2litres of used engine oil off my block paved drive :(

Also took me about 30mins to get a bolt out, somehow the thread got knackered in the turbo and it took all my strength to turn the bolt on a allen key and I could only turn it 60deg at a time. I think I need a new hand.

Was hoping for a sub 2hr turbo change time aswell :p

No, still doing my head in. But at least it's fast again. The 200sx turbo was lame, only just did a Sunny Gti-R today in it down the bypass. :p

At least you were turning it in the right direction. I had one I couldn't shift so I limbered up for a bit of power spannering and ended up snapping the nut off the end of the turbo shaft. Didn't know it was a left hand thread :(
 
i)Soak up excess oil with sand or saw dust

ii)For the remaining stains, pour cola on them and leave overnight, rinse off with soapy water the following morning.

iii) Use Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of soda) to clean up light-duty oil and grease spills on your garage floor or in your driveway. Sprinkle Baking Soda on the spot and scrub with a wet brush.

This is what I will be trying on my driveway this weekend... I changed my oil last saturday, and managed to knock over the basin I was catching my oil in! :(
