Got the turbo out today, couples of hour, not too bad of a job. Drain coolant, remove muffler to gain better access, disconnect all the tubes from the turbo (intercooler, exhaust, air filter), remove 2 coolant lines from turbo plus 2 from electric motor mechanism, remove oil lines and oil drain, remove all electrical connections.
I used some hydraulic and acetone mix to ease out the removal of the the 4 bolts holding the turbo. Turbo will come out by moving it foward, twist, and remove from the bottom, it is heavy.
I took the hot side off and there is a little soot and rust, but is was not too bad. I saw that you cannot replace the electric actuator if you do not have the gasket, which seems to be pretty hard to find.
More to come
I will clean it and reinstall and see if it fixed the problem.
