There might be a few ways of doing this job, as I seem to remember someone saying they went in from the bottom. I took off the turbo and manifolds, pulled the tube up, and replaced all the seals and gaskets, as there seemed to be a few leaks.
I just looked at the manual, and it says to unbolt from the turbo and push down, pull outward, and remove.
There's also an O-ring in between the 2-part turbo oil return pipe. The lower seal will most likely crumble.
