All you have to do is remove the intercooler and downpipe. Putting the car on stands is the most pain in **** part of it.

I changed my turbo a couple of weeks ago and the hardest part I found apart from undoing the rusty nuts was lining up the oil feed pipe underneath and getting the clips back on. It really is a **** job if you don't have a ramp and are lying underneath the car on the road.

I found it easier to tie a string around the oil drain rubber pipe and pulling/yanking it up, whilst pushing the turbo down trying to position the oil pipe. No virgin activity :-)
