Turbo Inlet Pipe Removal...HELP!!!

I'm trying to get the turbo inlet pipe off. But the screw is in an akward position. Basically underneath the inlet pipe. I'm having a heck of a time reaching it.

I've tried from the bottom and the top. I'd have more luck w/ it by removing the radiator fan, but it's hard to pull the fan out.

The reason I'm doing this is to install my mbc and I want to run it off the wastegate nipple and the turbo nipple.

Any suggestion on getting to that darn screw and loosening it?

I used a long 10 mm socket...it reached the screw/bolt. If you don't have a long socket try using a shot socket and a small extension...

+1 to what he said. Or try taking off everything else that you can forward of that coupler and use a stubby to take it off. Make sure when you put it back on you keep it facing up so you can reach behind the coolant line to the turbo to get to it.

If you end up taking off your radiator hose (middle top black one) make sure you have lots of paper towels to plug it or major spills.

He's got it now. He didn't need to make this thread - he just forgot to IM Warrtalon. Everything is good now.
