2010 Taurus SHO TT Replacement in Garage

- Start date
I cant comment on the rear turbo but I did the front one. simple hand tools. I pulled bumper, fans, rad/intercooler(comes out as one) then there was all kinds of room -> way easier than it sounds lol. But you may only need to pull fans. Don't over bend the flex joint on the downpipes cuz they will break.
New turbo did not have mounting brackets, updated design?. seems like alot of stress on a sheet metal manifold?

Yes, they updated the design and the newer turbos don't have mouting brackets... the cast iron manifolds will hold them fine.

When I replaced my ptu it also called to lower the sub frame for removal.
I just removed the lower front engine
Mount(dog bone ) and used a ratchet strap to pull the engine forward towards the radiator.
This is the bracket, you can see the bolt compared to where it’s supposed to mount.

Negative...they feel like cast iron to me so I just assumed they were along with the rough exterior and rusting... but I defer to Mikes post.. Stainless Steel/Steel it is... lol
Sooo, are there two different exhaust manifold designs? I seem to recall some reports of the inner wall on the design that Mike has pictured may be prone to degrading/flaking and taking the turbo's out. If that's true it might be worth taking a good look any time you're in that area of the engine.
First of all, thank you to everyone who replied :notworthy: I am new to the Ecoboost world coming from the diesel community. Belonging to DieselPlace.com I certainly appreciate the wisdom that exists in members of forums like this one.
Sounds like the rear does not need much more clearance to be removed.

Ha! Just to throw some oil in the mix (can’t make dumplings without it) this article... which is fantastic also had LME calling out the manifolds as cast-iron....

Wonder if that is your motor in the article?

The front is reported as easy. The rear is a PIA from those that have done it from a creeper...

This would be correct in an F150 application. Their manifolds are different from the transverse applications.StealBlueSho said:
