Throttle body removal

What all needs to be removed to get the throttle body off. I am pretty sure it is only connected to the manifold by 4 bolts but how am I suppost to get to the bottom two?

He probably had a good reason to swap throttle bodys. The series five throttle body has NO provision for the OMP actuating rod that connects to the front of the throttle body. Therefore he swapped throttle bodys. Good move.

Sorry, I never remove a turbo throttle body with it on the engine. I only remove them if the whole intake is off. On a series four non turbo it's a snap to remove the throttle body and nothing else.

na mate you got it back wards. he will have swapped the S5 TB over to utilise the S5 wiring loom to the TPS, if hes got a S4 motor he wants the S4 tb for the OMP linkage on his new S4 motor, unless of course they got rid off that, but then im still right
