Two other tips:

1. Soak the two turbo allen bolts from above and below.

2. When you get the first turbo bolt to move, tighten it back up or just leave it snug while you work on loosening the second bolt. Otherwise you can have the same problem that you did with the last cross-over bolt; all the stress goes to the one remaining tight bolt, which gets twisted slightly.

grr I just typed a big long response to this, then when I put my drink down I accidentally hit the "esc" key and deleted everything!

Anyway I had changed my turbo 5 times using normal wrenches, sockets, extensions, etc. For the turbo bolts I used a wobble allen attached to an extension. For the cross-over pipe a naormal wrench worked fine if you remove the right bolts first. Also this is with removeing the brake heat shield, 02, and the steering u-joint shield underneath the turbo.
