the turbo comes off with the pedestal attached, Theres 4 bolts 2 are easy 1 is hard and one is really hard, Just takes some skinny hands, wobble extensions and some flex sockets can help. It takes a little while to get off but not impossiable.

1/4 inch drive swivel sockets and wobble extensions are your friend for that back bolt

get a ratcheting gearwrench for the pedestal bolt on the pass side. 10mm . A 10 mm socket for the other ones.

For the exhaust inlet bottom 2 nuts use a stubby wrench and hold it in place while holding a prybar or other piece of steel on it long enough to go out from under the hood by your master cylinder. Have someone smack the prybar good with a hammer and that nasty nut will come loose. I hate that thing! This method works perfect though.
