Well I took a better look today and I take back the answer I sent you. Looks like the turbo oil & coolant lines are in the way. The heat shield on the head looks a difficult to remove also. I'm not sure if you have to remove the turbos, but it would be easier if they were off and out of the way.
I might have spoken to soon.

Hi, I'm in the middle of a K04 turbo upgrade myself, and I'm running into the same issue as you had, getting access to some of the turbo lines, particularly the top side, where the oil line is right over top of the Torx screw. I also had a look at the removal instructions, but it doesn't mention how to actually gain access to the screws, and I'm hoping you can share how you went about doing so.
Thanks,
Tom
