Remove turbos
Okay, list everything i need to remove to get at the turbos (preferrably in order of removal). I'm gonna replace the UIM gasket while i'm in there, anything else I should do "just because i'm there"?

ok this is gonna be a quick write up since the process is kinda drawn out...if pulled and re-installed 3-4 times..its pretty straitforward
ok jack the car up...u can drain the coolant if u please..if not a bit will leak out
ok pull the intake and intake hoses....
then go under the car remove rear turbo inlet pipe 10mm
then remove air pump 12mm i think
then remove the y pipe 10mm
then remove down pipe 14mm
then disconnect oil lines and coolant lines..oil inlet use 2 17mm wrenches ( u can snap the tube easy )
the oil return lines are 10 mm...
then unbolt the turbos from the manifold...i think its like 6 14 mm and 2 13mm nuts....
then with the help of a friend pull the turbos up and on an angle out a the car.....
tadow
i think the lightning site has a good write up...its under the non-seq conversion page...
if u need any more help feel free to e-mail

Yeah, i've got the manual....i just didn't remember there being a good writeup on the whole process. Plus the manual likes to tell you to remove things when it isn't necessary. Thanks bacon, that's a HUGE help, and i'll look at Steve's site later too. I'll post pics middle of next week of my wastegate porting job.

yea its pretty strait forward...u gonna replace the uim, or the lim? uim is way easy...
just lift te manifold a bit..remove the 5 nuts and the one by the tb..lift up manifold and swap them out..
lim is a job and a half

I know this feeling. I had to pull my turbos two months ago to replace the exhaust gaskets. Not too bad of a job I think it took me 2-3 hours with out a manual or any directions. The hardest part was geting the turbos past the egr valve. that's kind of a bitch.
