Word of advice, when you take the turbine housing off, make sure it is on the table and the compressor is facing up. Otherwise, the vanes will fall all over the place, which if this is the first time you have done it, will take you forever trying to figure out how they went.

You don’t have to mark the turbine housing and cartridge. There is a pin that locates them into position.
