i did mine friday and the only clip is the c-clip that connects the waste gate. they`re is a slide clip under the turbo, but you just slide it towards the driverside it doesnt come all the way off.

If you take a short screwdriver from the driverside top of the clamp you can get it started, once you get it loose from that end you can work your way around with a bigger screwdriver. I used a pry-bar with a 45* angle on one end to kind of go around the housing. Once you get about half way its pretty easy to get it off!
you also have to completely remove the T-bolt from the clamp

The only one I know of is the same one I lost when putting on my ATS housing. It is located at the back of the waste gate rod.

Your best bet is to get a magnet of some sort and a set of picks like the ones a dentist uses. I had no magnet so mine went flying. Lucky for me I had an old carb in the shed and it had the same size C clip.

after you get what ever you use to push the clip off with in place..wrap a white rag around every thing and push it off..the clip should stay in the rag..
