How to remove the turbo??

[RobertDawe]

I got a 1999 Stagea RS4S with a RB25DET-Neo and I need to replace the exhaust manifold gasket, I have one on the way but when I attempted to do it on a RB20DET, I couldn't get the turbo out. Can somebody give a step by step instructions on how to remove the turbo the easiest way possible with the engine in the car? I know it has 4 bolts to the mani and 4 bolts to the DP, but I recall there being an oil line and another metal pipe attached to it that I couldnt remove.
Any help is appreciated, I want to get this done Monday night/Tuesday. Currently Friday.

I've done it on my rb20det, the hard part is the water line on engine side, you will need a 25mm wrench (if I remember) or a ratchet wrench would be your best friend.

Lift the front of the car to get underneath for dp bolts if you can't remove the dump pipe (I don't remember if you can reach the 6 bolts easily)

Don't forget to use penetrating lube for the nuts on the manifold or heat them to be sure!

You can also remove things around to get more room to work!
