Y-Pipe Removal Help
I Have a RHD Fd and Im having a really hard time taking this thing off!! I removed everything already, air pump, intake hoses and took out the two bolts that attach the intake pipe to the aft turbo.I even had to take out the studs from the turbo. But there are two metal lines behind the intake pipe that wont let it come out all the way. Im looking for some guidance, Im thinking abut removing the studs from the front of the y pipe and just pull it out. Any advice would be greatly apreciated.

Usually it's the rear intake pipe that causes the issues, usually it's just a matter of a little rubiks cube manipulation to remove the outlets. You can clock the compressor housings slightly with brute force if there's just a smidgen of clearance needed. Failing that, remove studs as you mentioned, or heaven forbid, if the ACV lines are in the way, there's a few nuts to undo them, which would be a last resort!
