No u don't have to remove the turbo for the ATS housing. I believe having a swivel joint helps on a few tight corners.

Rremove your intake boots and remove the stock housing bolts.
There is one difficult bolt to get too. Make sure you have a 1/4" swivel, short extension and a spare deep 5/16" 12 point socket. You can easily split the thin wall socket trying to get that one bolt out!

just did the math:
5/16''= .3125''
8mm= .3149'' (1''=25.4mm)

Thank guys. It doesn't sound or look all that tough. I think I'll give it a shot. I've got a 2000 PSD so I don't think I'll need to change the wheel over to a WW. If you have any more suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
