I soaked mine with wd-40. Actually I only had to soak the exhaust up pipe collector clamp to get that off. Everything else came off real easy, except for access to them. You should only have to remove the 4 bolts on top of the turbo, as well as the v-band clamps on the inlet and exhaust pipes. Have you removed everything else so far, like the 5-way y-pipe, intercooler pipes, etc...?

Sorry, I just saw yours is a 95. They are different than mine (2000) but for some reason, penetrating oil with some lubricant properties seems to work a little better than others. At least that's only MHO.

Nightmoves,
How much oil is in the tube? The breather allows oil through the vent into the intake tube, nature of the beast. Just don't want to see you repair something that's not broken. If you can't remove the bolts at the collector, you might try removing the up-pipes at the exhaust manifolds and then remove the exhaust side turbo housing and then pull them up and out as a unit. You could also do the same by removing the entire turbo pedestal. Sometimes, you will find that the up-pipes will come out of the collector without loosening the bolts, because the sealing rings have worn out.

The solenoid is the EBPV actuator. As for maintenance, make sure the o-ring recesses are clean and free of debris and the oil passages are clean. Don't soak the pedestal in cleaner, so as not to damage the solenoid. Use brake cleaner or similar fluid to clean. If you have not done so already, you might consider changing the seals in the ends of the fuel rail supply lines, as the pedestal must be removed for this.

It closes the exhaust backpressure valve during cold starts to help the engine warm up faster. Many people disable it or convert it into an engine brake. I left mine alone because I'm lazy, but eventually I'll convert it also.

disable exhaust valve
what is the best way to disable the exhaust valve, should the solenoid be unplugged or left alone should the butterfly be taken out of the adapter ? is there a way of keeping the oil out of the servo so as not to leak eventually?
