It's pretty straight forward. If it is connected somewhere, disconnect. It the motor is still in the car, u could have some problems getting to the bolts that hold the turbos on. It the motor is out of the car, see a bolt, take a bolt off. Of course you have to disconnect the oil lines and cooling lines.

Start at the intake and work your way down and back
Make sure to buy a can of PB Blaster if your not using air tools .

a lil advise i would share wiv you... put each bolts and nuts in a small zip plastic bag and mark them up. Its easier to remove the turbo than putting it back if this is your first time

The most important thing is having the right tools! and yess u need some PB Blaster... and work slowly not to break any bolts/nut...

PM me if your stuck... good luck dude

PB Blaster is a spray-on lubricant. Can be purchased at Autozone, Pep Boys, etc, etc. Really works pretty good and I highly recommend it. Spary heavly on bolts/nuts connecting the Turbo(s) and let them soak about 12- 24 hours before attempting to remove. Should come off pretty easy. BUT.....take your time when removing....you don't want to break a bolt. Good Luck.
