You don't need to take the whole intake off, just the ACV. I did anyway.

Wobble-sockets, shorty combination wrenches, whatever it takes. A small-boned and/or tiny-handed friend?

It's a real booger to get to some of those bolts and I've heard since I did mine that it's easier to remove the turbo & mani as one. Makes sense seeing as how tough the turbo to mani nuts were.

Easier said than done, but patience really IS a virtue.

Hit the little external lever with a large hammer a few times. It will break right off.

What is the flapper door? what does it do? and why would you want to cut it off?
Just curious

The flapper door is a little valve that actuates the twin scroll system. It becomes a restriction when you start to upgrade. Do a search for "twin scroll" for more information, and see the instructions on ReTED's website.
