Anyone have a How-To on removing the turbo? Besides the AMS O2 Install thread

Garrett has a pretty thorough writeup:

Hopefully my turbo install will go in smoothly.

It's a biatch I tell you. Makes the O2 housing swap look really easy.

How'd you get your turbo to block bolt out. I tried a 14mm with swivel joint and extension but i cant get it

Cant reach it or can't turn it? add more extensions with the swivel..

As for breaking it loose, we had to borrow a heavy duty impact wrench.

Yup I had to go buy a $200 1000 ft/lb impact gun and broke it loose no problem.

Also used a really stiff 14 mm swivel
