I didn't take any pics yesterday. Still waiting on oil line parts so I didn't get the new ones on completely. I have the car sitting up HIGH on jack stands so it makes it much easier.
Downpipes weren't bad to get off just need a good assortment of extensions and flexible ratchets. The rear downpipe to turbo bolts were easiest to get off with long extensions through the passenger wheel well. I had them both off in in under an hour. Letting some of the bolts soak in PB blaster.
The front turbo was obviously the easiest. Again, combinations of extensions and swivels help. It was off in under an hour. Doing half the work from the top and the other half from the bottom.
Rear turbo isn't necessarily hard just time consuming. Getting the heat shields off and that engine lift bracket off sucked. Hanging over the engine getting half the bolts off by feel and squeezing my hand back down in there to get the oil line unhooked and coolant banjo bolts. Once that's done the turbo brackets and turbo to manifold weren't bad. I used a few long extensions to get my breaker bar up past the engine and popped them loose. Once that's done then the fun is getting the turbo wiggled out.
I'll try to remember to get some pics of completing the reinstall.
