There isn't really a fast and short way unless the motor is out of the car.

Soak the bolts in penetrating fluid the day before, use heat on anything stubborn, as well as have a good assortment of short and tall sockets, and extensions.

It's not very fun.

The fast and short way is the same as the normal way. No, I take that back, if you break a stud the fast way can become the really difficult way.

Take your time and do it right. Pull the intake, downpipe, turbo coolant lines, turbo oil lines, turbo control actuator arm, and finally remove the studs holding the turbo to the exhaust manifold. Lift out of the car.

I was under my car replacing Power Steering hose tonight and looked at the turbo. I puked a little bit in my mouth when I imagined pulling that out of there. I commend you Sir!
