how many bolts holding lower intake to engine block on TII?

How many bolts are there holding the lower intake manifold to the actual block on a 2nd gen turbo?

It looks like 5 in the FSM. If it is, it looks like it can be removed WITHOUT removing the turbo?

It MAY be possible to remove it with the turbo still on there but it would require exactly the right tool and damn it would be hard to do....and you wouldn't be able to torque the bolts correctly. This is one of those things that it just plain easier to remove the turbo...it's surprisingly easy to remove especially if you have not ACV, Heat Shields, and a Down Pipe...oh....and no air pump. I could get my turbo off in less than an hour now.
