Exhaust manifold changing gasket s4 t11

Ok so I have a leak at my manifold gasket. What are the steps
I need to take to change it. Have all stock parts. Hoping it's easy
Did the turbo swap myself so I'm somewhat knowledgeable
Any help would be appreciated

As I recall, the air control valve (or ACV) will severely impede your ability to pull the turbo. If it's completely stock, the general steps will be:

-disconnect negative battery cable
-drain coolant
-remove intake and charge pipe (going to intercooler)
-disconnect exhaust
-remove air pump
-disconnect anything attached to turbo (i.e. oil/coolant hoses)
-unbolt turbo from manifold
-finagle turbo out of car. You may need to remove the air control valve, but I really don't know for sure. I haven't worked on a TII in stock form.... ever.
-Unbolt manifold, inspect for cracks, clean surfaces, replace gasket, use new locking nuts when installing the manifold and exhaust.
