Shortest time to remove turbo mounting bolts?
I removed my alternator instead of dropping the steering rack. I had previously converted to hex bolts instead of the allen head bolts that were oem. I had both of the bolts off in less then 2 minutes. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has had an easier time with them. It sure beat drilling them out the first time.

Also, the second time is always sooo much quicker than the first. All of the bolts turn like they are supposed to, you don't waste time trying to figure out how to do it, etc.. etc.

No problem with the alternator air duct, a couple long extensions and a swivel, just think how fast you will be next time.
