Hi all, I'm removing the turbo from my BM and having troulbe remove the CAT, could someone tell me where it seperates from the rest of the exhaust? Mine looks like its been spot welded where it should seperate but i'm not sure.

Also I think i'll need to remove the engine mount a little to slide the turbo out, does anyone know how to do this? I think I undo the bolt in picture 2 but if someone could confirm that would be great

Thanks!

Might have to tilt your head a little for this one

That page says I need a special tool which looks basically like an engine mount which i'm pretty sure I don't need?

Point being that they are undoing the engine mount and lifting the engine in order to remove the turbo, you can use whatever method suits to lift the engine.
