Try searching for 'pull turbos'.
I've done it a couple times. I remove all the intake stuff, y-pipe, then the downpipe. Since I work alone, I also remove the wastegate and precontrol actuators to make it easier to lift out. Then I remove the coolant lines, oil lines, and turbo bolts. After unthreading the last manifold bolt from the top, I lift it straight out.
