You don't need to remove the turbo. Unbolt the down pipe. Remove the lambda sensor then unbolt the headers from the heads and up pipe(heat shields first and can be z **** lol). Unbolt the up pipe from the turbo. You now need to jack the off side of the engine up a few inches to get the up
Pipe out.
The hardest part with the injectors is removing the guards.
Hope you have fun.

Apply WD40 or similar, night before AND on the morning before you start.
Before starting warm engine at T.O for five mins max.
Approach each nut as a one off chance. Properly fitting and square socket.
Shock load tight fasteners and only use spanners where a square fit is inaccessible.
You cannot usually remove or fit the uppipe assembled to the headers.
Here is our standard uppipe guide.
Good luck.
Swapping uppipe.
Drop the D/P.
Undo the bolts, headers to uppipe.
Loosen but do not remove three nuts on each header to cylinder head.
Now undo the nuts holding the uppipe. 5# in total if they are all there.
Remove U/P.
If it will not come loosen the two bolts, collector to the rest of headers/cross pipe and it will fly out.
Alternative : Least preferred option.
If it will not come out with lots of twisting, slack engine mountings. Do not totally undo. Jack engine and pipe drops out.
Try to get pipe out first before undoing mountings for engine.

You have removed the front subframe???
How big of a dent is this? I'd imagine the worse case would be affecting scavenging of exhaust gases costing you a very small amount of spool and power. But it'd have to be fairly big to be noticeably affecting spool and power i should think
