    Hi,

    There are a couple of threads on here about this but no real answers...
    My LCR1 started blowing from the flexi joint on the exhaust downpipe so I bought an upgrade. After a significant amount of time with an angle grinder on the rushed remains of some bolts and a lot of messing around, I got the old one off in 2 pieces- it split at the flexi joint.
    Unfortunately the fit is so tight that I can't get the new one in now! It gets stuck under the turbo!

    Has anyone done this? How did you do it? I'm thinking either remove the turbo or drop the sub frame - but the steering rack is also attached to the subframe... Can anyone help please?

    Thanks!
