Regulator1988,
I would like to help but don't have an extension that can reach from Tacoma, Washington to Waco,Texas.
If you were closer by I would be more than happy to give a hand.

Have you gotten the stuck bolt off? This will work for any stuck bolts
Did you try the Kroil on it? That stuff does work very well it just needs a bit of time.
Try to get it into the threads. Spray it on any thing you think is going to be stuck .

I have not had the truck long enough to have to pull the turbo yet.

You should be able to pick up the Kroil local.
That extra long extension I think is still in planning at NASA
so they can fix the space station with out any Space Shuttles.
EEK got to run to the dealership They have to fix some thing that they
fixed and did not stay fixed.

Put a ratchet wrench on the back one sticking straight up to the sky, then get a pipe not a flimsy pry bar and use the pry bar to break the nut loose.

Exactly ^^^^^^ I use a 6 point box wrench one that goes straight on not the Offset type or comes off at an angle and bar to Bust it loose

A helper here comes in Handy one to hold the wrench on and other to work the Pipe or prybar Just to Break it Lose
