    Default OMG! How the HELL do you swap out the CBV???

    Sorry, I don't have any skin left on my knuckles. Anyone done this on an XC without removing the turbo? I've been lying on top of my engine for about an hour, just trying to figure out how to get a tool in there just to remove the top 2 bolts (not to mention the one you can't see!) I've had an IPD HD CBV kicking around, waiting to be installed. I thought today was going to be the day.
    Tips? Hints? Tricks?

    Hard to explain but this is a 15 minute job, you're doing something very wrong
    (and it's BCV or TVC not the other way around if you mean boost control valve or turbo control valve)

    CBV=Compressor Bypass Valve. On turbocharger, facing exhaust manifold. I know what the TCV is.
    How's the storm shaping up?

    LOL Jim!

    For the record there's a TCV and CBV.
    Turbo Control Valve - the black fitting with poly pipes usually hanging on the air intake housing,
    Compressor Bypass Valve - on the turbo housing.

    The IPD instructions are weak! They show it being done with the turbocharger removed. I've heard of this being done with the TC intact, I just can't for the life of me, figure out how to fit any kind of tool in, to undo those bolts! Seems impossible.

    Of my knuckles? Or the CBV?
    Seriously- I might need a finer optic cam to get the shot! If you look down at your turbocharger from the driver's (left) side, it's between the wastegate actuator and the exhaust manifold, below the OTE pipe coupling.
    I'm thinking a whole lot more than just the strut bar, heat shield & OTE pipe need to be removed. Probably more like that, plus the turbo intake pipe, wastegate actuator, a coolant line, various vac hoses. Still looks like a major pain.
    Just wondering if I'm overthinking it.

    For the record, I gave up on this as well and only changed it when I had the turbo out.

    I put the IPD kit in by pretty much climbing up on top of the engine after taking off the turbo cross-over pipe and as much other extraneous crap I could that was in the way. PITA, in any case.

    Have fun,
