How to Swap / Change / Replace / Remove and Replace your R56 Turbo
I'm gonna put together a simple primer on how to swap out your turbo with an OE replacement I got from BuyAutoParts Kit # 40-80193 IK for $486 delivered (with a coupon) with some of the gaskets included and what additional stuff you may need to purchase.
My 2008 R56 S automatic has 150k miles and Im pretty sure my seals are bad at this point. I did a compression test and I know the combustion chambers are sealing well. I changed the PCV system (valve cover) and I have no oil leaks, so this is the last thing that could be leaking/burning oil. At 150k miles, Im sure its due.

It comes with some of what you need:
- Manifold to turbo o-gasket (quality unknown), 4 copper o-rings, 1 rubber o-ring (not sure what it's for yet), an oil line out paper gasket (?) and another small paper gasket (?).
You still need the following sold by ECS Tuning as a kit (minus the o-ring which is already included with the turbo)
