Which screws? Do you mean the studs that screw into the compressor or exhaust side? Try a stud remover tool.

usually turbos have studs on the compressor housing so you can boltup an elbow or somehting for the intake. They also may have them where they bolt to the exhaust manifold. I'm not sure if that is what your talking about. Autoparts stores usually sell or rent the extractors. Looks like a socket but has internal teeth that lock onto the stud to grab it and turn it.
