Turbo down pipe helpful tip of the day: Once you loosen the bolt, the clamp stays tight, crawl under the truck and kick the sucker.
Sounds like I'm in for a treat, I've got Tuesday to Friday off this week, gonna order an EGR delete kit and oil cooler from Custom Diesel up the road in Morristown and just knock it all out in one go 'round.

Sounds like a plan, make sure you get new bolts for the turbo up-pipe from Ford before you go tearing into it. When you get frustrated, kick back and relax, when your blood pressure returns to normal, continue working. It really is no big deal, but it can frustrate ones self the first time.

In your tool kit make sure to have beer.
The Kit you need is the turbo reinstall kit.
Comes with new bolts and some gaskets that
you should also replace.
ALSO be very careful around the posts
in the housing with that 3M pad it can and has broken some posts.
