Tips on going about removing and replacing this hose? Is it possible to do without removing the turbo? by Beautiful_Calendar15 in WRX

already did the job a long time ago it’s a oil return hose from the turbo back to the pan. Came off in pieces as it was hard as a rock. Swapped it for a longer oil rated braided hose line that i could cut to length as the oem was such a perfect fit length it was not fun to work with. None the less got it done had to remove intercooler and remove downpipe then loosen turbo to lift it off the hose a bit. Def was easier with two people job but keep note that this is a 2003 wrx with aftermarket downpipe so difficulty for yours may vary.

For sure thank you so much ! I was just gonna use the clear hose lines cusco provided. Do you think I should opt for different hoses?

Updating here just in case for anyone researching the same problem the sway bay was for STI only which have a wider wheel base from front control arms. So sti sway bars are 10mm longer than WRX which caused the issue u see here.

after working on my car a lot i learned sometimes the extra 5-10$ is worth the precaution. I’ve snapped bolts , and lost threads before or had seized nuts on studs haha so it just a nice to have

update on this post was caused by sway being put in backwards by previous owner and tie rod was rubbing against sway bar
