ok, first take off the inlet and outlet pipes on the compressor.

then remove all the feed and return lines

Remove the banjo bolt off of the twin scroll actuator, and move that line out of the way.

then remove the downpipe bolts and pull it away from the turbo.

now there are 4 bolts holding the turbo the the manifold, you should be able to remove them and you should be all done.

Also if you have a heat shield you should remove that b4 all of this.
