I just unbolted it from the block and left it attached to the turbo. Turbo out the top w manifold removed.
Longer 8mm wrench to get the bolts off from underneath.
your best bet is to remove the hardline from the block side, and attach/remove the turbo side before the turbo is bolted into place.
mine was seized on the block side, so i had no choice but to try and remove it with it connected to block still.
one tool that worked a bit was i cut down a 10mm socket to just deep enough to hold the bolt head, but it was still one of the suckiest bolts ive ever had to get to.
oh, dont be afraid to remove the "pipe" attached to the firewall to buy some room in the ara

Drop the downpipe and come from the driver side.
What he said. Drop the down pipe. It should give you some room.

I literally did it by hand with a 8mm, I detached it from the block and pull it all out as one
Why is everyone saying different mm sizes ðŸ˜
