it was easy. I took the front cover off . I think the fuel line needs to be removed and then use a open ended wrench.

The intake has a slot in it, not a hole, loosen the bolt and slid it out of there.

Remember to check my thread on the SD center cartridge and pedestal if you plan on keeping your stock turbo.

I definitely gave it a good read.. Looked slick! I'm on a budget (blown a long time ago) and time crunch so unfortunately I won't be able to do it... Maybe next time the turbo is out...
