It's real easy. You have to take off the downpipes, 2 v-bands and a bolt. v-band at the back of the turbo ,one on the waste gate and a single bolt at the back of the exhaust. Once that's out of the way the plugs are easy to get at with a short extension and 3/8 ratchet. Along with the valve train.

You should also know that the nose comes off in one piece so that makes it much simpler.

Thats some great work.Car looks awesome. Ive seen ya over at YB.

BTW what size pipe are you using to feed the turbo from the header? Is that 3.5 or 3in? Did you use any adapters to get it rectangular into T6 flange ? Im at that point right now with my project.

Thanks, it's 3.5. I didn't use the adapters because of space issues. I have two adapters from 3.5 to rectangular T6 flange. Do you need them?
