I think I'll be alright just winging it but it'd be nice if I had some instructions and pictures to go by, I'm guessing its just remove the air box and the intake manifold and its right there? Thanks! And I searched to no avail.

Ahh, if it only it were that simple! Clark's is a pretty good place to get started, and of course post here for specific questions. There are some other things that are a good idea to take care of "while your in there", like AOS seals. I am not sure if that is in Clark's or not.

Not exactly step by step, but hope its helpful.

taking a break, im ready to pull the actual turbo now, so let me get this straight, i have crossover pipe bolts, exhaust bolts, and actual turbo mounting bolts i have to take out?

Pretty much, off the top of my head the only other things would be the water connections and the oil feed line.

It can be a real pita for your first time, mostly because when you start digging in you find all sorts of "treasures"

Just finished pulling mine...agreed PITA, especially if you have a larger turbo.

budd you keeping your AC or do you want to get rid of it?

buddd

a/c is fresh and r134 now so i'm going to keep it. i took a break for the night as my back starting killing haha i hate being 6' 4" working on cars i'm always hunched over all ridiculous.

so where i stand now two bolts are off the crossover pipe and two bolts are off the downpipe, im still a little lost on where the actual turbo mounting bolts are. are there two of them? are they the allen heads that are located pretty much right under the center section of the turbo? thanks guys!

Its pretty easy when you have the brake booster heat shield deleted and a a/c delete

buddd

i still gotta pull the brake booster shield it is a pain in the *** when its in haha, screw it i'm going and finishing it tonight the girlfriends still at work anyways..

Spyder348 - I took the existing water pipe and modified it by installing a longer tube with the correct bend to get over the turbo. It was a PITA trying to get everything lined up right and took several attempts, but I like the stock appearance of it.

Buddd - just go slow and be methodical , take notes and pics of everything for reassembly.

Here are a couple of pics...before and after removal.

thanks! so as of now all four cross over pipe bolts are out, and the bottom two downpipe bolts and the two turbo bolts are still in, leaving it at that for tonight lol
