    Okay so I have a crack in my inlet and just got a new one. I cannot tell how to get it on or off for that matter. The 2 bolt holes are for the wastegate actuator so how does the housing attach to the turbo?
    anyone have a how to? Pictures
    what am I missing.

    here is the new one:

    There should be a giant C-clip holding the housing on.

    sweet, I figured from the groove that it was something like that. I was about to go pull the td04 from the engine in the garage.
    thanks Matt.
    any special tools or just find a way to squeeze it to pop it out?
