Re:IHI question

It tool mine a few good wacks with the hammer to break it loose. Just leave the bolts kinda snug so you cant damage the turbine from the housing coming off sideways.

No, dont do that..

use heavy amounts of pb blaster,wd40 etc, mount the turbo in a vise, loosen the bolts and smack the backside of the compressor housing with a hammer. dont beat the living ---- out of it, but just keep tapping and it will break free.
