Title says it all, i'm alittle confused which bit I need to move to get the turbo out, if someone could tell me which picture the engine mount is in that would be great







Also is the black metal tray thing in picture 3 the subframe and can it be removed easily?

Thanks

From your picture from yesterday it is the nut bottom left of picture (left of the turbo stud).

In the 1st picture above it is the nut in the middle.




Front subframe is the other item your refering to, but it is not easy to remove as the engine mounts onto it as does all the front suspension and steering rack, asier to undo the driverside engine mount and lift the engine to remove the turbo.

Thank you x100! I'll take that bolt off when I get home and lift the engine a little with a fork truck (maybe overkill but its the only thing I have suitable!) smile
