I removed the wastegate clip and rod from the downpipe's swing valve and used an Allen key to remove the four downpipe bolts. The wastegate solenoid vacuum lines were then removed--one came off the actuator and one came from the 90-degree fitting on the turbo. The four turbo heat shield bracket bolts take a 13mm socket. Two of them are on the block, and two are on the turbo. For the bottom one on the block, use two extensions on the ratchet and come straight in from the front. Be sure to keep the lower turbo bracket ground strap close to its mounting hole, and you might as well clean it off while you're at it. The top one on the block was easier to reach with the heat shield removed--holding this thin piece of metal was also a 13mm bolt. Finally, remove the two bolts on top of the turbo and pull the bracket up and out.
