umm, search?

-drain coolant and oil
-unbolt downpipe from o2 housing
-unbolt oil return line from oil pan
-remove all manifold-to-head bolts
-unbolt oil feed line from head
-unhook turbo coolant feed and return line
-I would unbolt the turbo-to-manifold bolts and pull off the manifold, but not necessary
-out she comes!

check "hotside remove " or o2 remove in the forum "how to".

a while back I tried a search for turbo remove and gave up after reading about ten pages of none relevant titles.

I would plop a large drain pan under the turbo area, drain the coolant. And pop the drain tube at the pan. Then get to work on top with all the manifold nuts. Liquid wrench can be of major assistance here. Get the top heat shield off, and o2 sensor unplugged or out of the o2. Detach the coolant hoses from the hard lines coming off of the turbo. I popped the 4 turbo - manifold bolts for more play in the setup. Remove the banjo bolt from the head (oil feed line)

Then go under and take off the LICP from the compressor outlet. I left my j-pipe on. While you're back under the car remove the 14mm bolt that holds the 02 housing to the block. (small bracket) Back on top pop your upper rad hose off of the radiator and tuck it out of the way for a second.

You should be able to lift it straight out the top almost complete.

Don't forget the vacuum line to the wastegate.

i removed everything i think but it still doesnt come out im not trying to force it out but it feels like it wont budge. so far i have removed all nine bolts on the manifold. both hoses coming from the turbo. the 2 bolts on the down pipe/cat back both heat sheilds the intake side of the turbo and i disconnected the inercooler from the otherside of the turbo at the squishy pipe.

i know im so newb thats its not funny and prob shoundnt do this myself but i know if i take my time and dont force anything i can do this myself.

did you get the bolt in pic 14, sort of on the back side of the o2 housing?

It wasn't on my car due to prior work but maybe it is still there on yours.
