don't know how many know this.....but if you take the turbo off first...it frees up the mani bolts pretty good.  Food for thought

Is it easier to remove the turbo first, or the whole mani?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I took my turbo off, and I had quite a bit of trouble getting that bolt out, broke a wrench so it'd be shorter, then I dropped some tools down through the vent in front of windshield, while getting those out I found a stubby 14mm someone had lost

My second pain in the ass was getting that damned oil line off that goes kind of in the middle of the turbo, grr not looking forward to putting it all together!
