M57D30 single turbo replacement
 

Hi guys, I am new here but would like advice on replacing the turbo on the E70. I have found the air cleaner housing is part of cam cover. I didn’t want to disturb if possible. Do I need to remove exhaust manifold. I have undone the clamp from turbo to manifold and clamp to exhaust. There is one bolt I cannot see never mind get a spanned on. The turbo bracket to engine block rear bolt. Any ideas please. I have undone oil feed banjo and drain pipe so just this one bolt left holding it on I think. Any links, pictures and advice will be much appreciated

Why are you replacing the turbo?

Because of the very loud whine when cold and pumping oil into inter cooler and manifold .

How did you end up replacing your turbo? I’m about to do the same and I’m looking for some ideas?
