Nope. I removed the turbo and after much fighting to reach things, I pulled the pedestal as well.

I know some have done it with turbo on but after having done it with turbo off I can't imagine doing it with it on, especially if you are working alone. Of course when I did it I was putting in a new turbo so it was off anyway.

FYI: WalMart has a little gadget that costs about $5 that you plug into the lighter socket that keeps your presets all working while the battery is disconnected, it uses a 9v battery I think-they are in the auto section near the battery terminals.

Fellas, A quick safety tip. Those "keep memory alive" thingys will also keep airbags alive. As will anything that has a battery that is plugged into a power outlet. i.e. cell phone, portable DVD players etc. It gets talked about many many times in my trade magazines. ( I am a firefighter) So if your doing anything around the airbags/sensors that could possible set them off, You want the battery disconnected and wait a couple of minutes before working. I know that some vehicles, the capacitors hold a charge for a long time (up to an hour I have been told) and as little time as 5 min. Unfortunatley for us, there is no standard, and we dont always know or have to time to wait before doing what we need to.
Sorry, dont want to sound like a mother hen here, but I would hate to see someone get hurt all for the sake of not having to redo the presets on their radio.
I saw a thread somewhere about what happens when an airbag goes off when your just sitting in the seat. If I can find it, I will post it.
