Remove heatshield/ intercoller (removing intercoller makes it eaiser)

Remove lambada from top of pipe

There should be 5 bolts on the turbo end of the down pipe, two holding it on to the car and two joining it to the centre section.

undo them all and it will come off, re fitting is reversal.

Its a good idea to replace the gaskets while ur there

Good Luck
