Solved

Tried installing my Open dump but I ended up snapping a bolt so I decided to remove the hotside of the turbo. I took off the Clamp and I believe I have all the bolts out to remove it but I still can't figure out how to seperate it. Am I doing something wrong?

The Wastegate will need to be detached. Also, it's a tight fit so tapping it with a rubber mallet might help. It's not just going to fall off once everything is unbolted.

Did you make sure you removed all the mounting fasteners that keep it attached to the block? They're sneaky in there. If they are all out, yeah a love tap with a rubber mallet or even a hammer with a block of wood will free it up nice.

I tried hitting it with a rubber mallet and a hammer but it wouldn't budge. I ended up putting a screwdriver and hitting it with a hammer. That did work but it didn't look pretty at the end but I don't think it will cause a leak when I install it back.
