Whats holding the turbo?
Noob question but simple to answer. What is holding the turbo?
I know that the 4 bottom bolts on the exhaust manifold is holding it as well as the downpipe/o2 housing. Anything else im missing there? I plan on simply loosening the turbo so that I can wiggle it to take out the o2 dump that's on the car right now from previous owner.

If it's the stock turbo, and no one has ever removed, there is a bracket in he bottom that holds it on. You should be able to get the O2 dump off with pulling the turbo. I can get my MAP O2 off with out doing that..
Sorry I forgot to mention. I have an FP Red turbo, and then an aftermarket v-banded o2 dump. Yesterday I was able to get all the bolts out of the o2 housing. However, the problem I am facing now is that the bottom two studs on the o2 housing is too long causing the o2 dump to hit the a/c compressor. I figured the easier way is to just remove the bolts holding the turbo and turn it just a little to get the o2 housing to come off. I didnt want to mess with the coolant/oil feed lines on the turbo but it seems like I have no choice but to remove them if I want to turn the turbo?
I got it off, I just removed the top 4 bolts from the manifold to turbo without taking off any lines, and then had to get someone else from under to shake and do some aerobatic stuns to get that o2 dump off. Now I ran into some more issues that is not related to this thread lol. good learning opportunity though, thanks for the help.
