the easy way:

1. take off front bumper
2. remove the radiator

now you have access to do the job

leave the manifold on and just remove the turbo,one of the nuts can be a bit tricky but should be no problem!

the only reason to take the bumper off and radiator off is if you have a full front intercooler and you had to move the rad when you fitted the cooler!

only took me 2 1/2 hours to change my turbo

if u do leave the rad in make sure u protect it wiv a bit of cardboard
so the water feed dont pierce it!!

it should be removed with the manifold, - take the studs out of the head and remove rocker cover for better access. I always take the pipes off while in engine bay to prevent damage. I do recommend taking the rad out and doing it that way - it's easier to see what ur doing, and can be sure nothing is catching etc. My t34 has to come out through the front.

I take the starter motor off and drop the turbo still attached to the manifold down. I find it far easier than bringing it up to the top.

i took mine out the top,its dead easy if you remove the top engine mount and push the engine back over while supported on a trolly jack simlpy remove the maifold bolts oil n water pipes 2down pipe bolts and pull out of the top took me an hour max
