Removing the turbo

With a car thats slammed, without taking the undercarriage cover off, in the dark, ******* sucks. 2.5 hours later.

End rant.

SO... perhaps for future reference you should remember:
*Jack the car up
*Take the undercarriage off
*Use light

Thats with jack stands and hydraulic lift haha.

I also have man hands, so not exactly the easiest to manuver in about 2 feet of accesible space lol. The killer was the bolt on the top right of the mani/turbo

I don't get it. I have large hands and have quite a belly (gut) and I can still slide under the car to reach the heat shields and pull the few bolts you need to get it out. Hell the hardest part is getting the oil lines to line up when re installing.
