Turbo Question

How difficult is it to remove turbo and clean it? Consider myself shade tree mechanic just wondering if this is something I dare tackle????

Not to highjack this thread but I am having issues. Over boosting. I am reading several times boost levels in the 40+. I am not pulling anything, I use a fuel addtive, no programmer and I do not Idle alot. I have 44k mile on it now but at about 34k I had overboosting and then no boost so I took it in they worked on it running some type of diag. and cleaned the EGR valve, it worked for 2 days than the no boost problem came back Intermittently so I unplug the EGR valve and I have had no problems until now. Could it be the turbo just needs clean or does it need a new one. It is the orginal turbo. 2004
