compressor wheel swap without pulling turbo?
Anyone had good luck getting the compressor housing off with turbo still in vehicle...?

That bottom bolt seems like the biggest pita...

Nope. Can't be done. The compressor cover won't clear to come off the turbo without taking the turbo off the engine.
