Not difficult. Start with all the small parts like air filter, "Y" pipe, hoses, etc untill all that is left is the turbos. Then the DP, oil line/tubes, and coolant hoses.

Don't think too hard, just start on it.

that's where i am at..... but you reckon that the turbos come out as a whole? or its best to dissect them up, and bring them out in pieces?

They come out together, I think there's 7or 8 bolt's ( nuts ) holding them to the manifold.
