I'd start unbolting stuff. Free it from the exhaust middle and then remove whatever you have to for access to the back of the turbo and wastegate. From there is just more unbolting until you can snake it out.

to undo, and then i can pull the head off. But there isn't enought room to get a wrench in there. I think im gonna unhook the tierod. Its for an NA, but i think your idea will still help, thanks.

...going through the hole in the bottom of the box. That should let you get at that pesky inside bolt, the others you can get with a lot fo ratchet extensions from the bottom.

does it help to come in through the wheel well in the tie rod hole?

Get the car high in the air and on jackstands, and get the other three through the bottom. You might also be able to go between the subframe and unibody. Also, if the axle is out of the way (we did the suspension at the same time), it makes it really easy to do...possibly impractical for your situation though.

We have some new ratchets that rotate at the handle, so you don't have to have a lot of room, so i might go through there, Thanks!
