There are 4. I just took mine off to replace the O rings. Yes it is a major pain to get to.
It is on the drivers side and I used a socket with a universal type extension along with a regular extension. If you feel ont he back side of the turbo before the Y collector you can feel the indintation.
Best of luck.

mitch, just like ak said, youll need a 1/4 drive 10mm swivel socket with a 6" extension. thats whats easiest for me. the last 2 turbos ive pulled, i couldnt find my socket set, so a 10mm stubby gear wrench rachet wrench got me by. i reached back with my right hand up against the firewall and got the wrench on the head of the bolt. and pulled with my fingertips and got lucky both times. good luck brother

I heard the rebuild kits are somewhat useless because the soft aluminum bore wares faster than the harder seal you replace with the rb kit.

Pull the guts, tap the hole, blow out with copius amounts of carb cleaner and compressed air. Install big cap with oring and snap ring, plug newly tapped hole, reinstall and forget. LOL

Make sure the ebpv rod has about 1/4" of pull before it hooks to the ball socket connection! I rebuilt mine and it turned out i spent money and didnt need to. Just screw that rod a little tighter and make sure it has about 1/4" of pull before you connect it back

well i got the valve taken out and the hole tapped and sealed, since i had the turbo out i went ahead and replaced my rubber fuel lines. they were about to go any minute and half the hose clamps were not even tight. also checked my FPR screen, MAN o MAN i dont know how any fuel was getting through that sucker she was black and plugged.
also what kind of pressure are those rubber lines under?
back to see if i can get the turbo put back on.
thanks for all your help guys
