Help getting turbos off

I am doing the non sequential mod and working on getting the turbos off. I have downpipe, y pipe, and both air intakes off the turbos. The oil return lines are unbolt (2 on bottom and the one coming in the top).

I have directions that say to unbolt 5 14mm nuts, 2 12mm nuts and 1 12mm bolt.

I have found 6 14mm nuts that appear to be holding them on but haven't found any 12mm nuts. The turbos still feel like they are bolted on. DOes anyone have a picture to show where the 12mm bolts and nuts are?

I tried using the search feature but I keep getting an error message from my browser. Plus I have done a ton of reading into this already. Any help from you wise people would be GREATLY appreciated.

The 12mm nut is towards the back of the turbos, there is a bar that blocks your view of it from directly underneath the car.

Just feel around with your hands, you'll find them all.

Hmmm. I never ended up taking a 12mm bolt or nut off but got the turbos off.

Then it probably was not bolted up correctly to start with. You'll probably want to find those 12 mm's when you go to bolt it back up.

The previous previous (2 owners ago) owner attempted to make it non sequential but didn't know what they were doing. Somethings were removed and others were not. I think the 12mm bolts were part of something that was removed.

The bolts I took off match perfectly with what Mahjik sent.

I've been driving the car with out any boost, I'm pretty stoked to see what the car feels like with 10psi
