right so got headers off no problems and bottom of up pipe no probs all the bolts came off fairly easy then got the top nuts off downpipe but yeah i see couldint get in to the underside ones and had to remove the downpipe also then its easy getting the up pipe was a bit of a nightmare also had to remove both engine mount nuts and jack engine up around 10mm to wiggle it out but thats it all done in total took around 3 hours bearing in mind have never done it before lol! would have fit it back up but waiting on diffrent up pipe coming tomorrow

IMO the best way is the take the turbo off, then you can bolt the new uppipe to it on the bench to ensure a good gasket seal. Then bolt it all back on then downpipe back on, then finally headers on.

none of it was hard or time cosuming but getting the downpipe off was tricky got them all off from top except one right at bottom had 2 use 2 extensions and a knuckle joint i think it helped i had been spraying wd40 on as many as i could see since the night before
