Good luck on that one. Most of my friends at work think I'm a nut job.
Come to think of it, they're right!

Man that sucks. Mine all came out with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with a 12 point deep socket...while still on the car (i took the "impossible to remove while in car" inlet pipe out before i took the wastgate out).
That job does suck a great deal though, I honestly think this was worse than removing the bellhousing on my daily driver.

I hate the turbo exhaust construction and configuration. Its retarded engineering at best. I truly feel your pain because I have been there several times before. Just be glad the engine is out while you are dealing with the mess. I anti-seize everything in the exhaust component when I bolt everything back.

Hmmm... I seem to recall a little ol' GTG at Wade's last year in where the fellas put a new Tial on Scully's sweet '87 951. Here's some pictures to just celebrate that memory:

Ever thought of moving to Cairns? We need a good Porsche mechanic here!

Working on your car when the only thing outside is you and the bugs is always a great memory. Or maybe when you go under the car and its dark and then come out and its light outside again... Thats always fun.
