0309htp Turbo24 Z

The three turbo-to-header bolts take a 15mm socket. You can reach the top one by bending the header's heat shield back a bit to get your ratchet in there--stick a spark plug socket on the ratchet's handle for a little more torque, if you need to. If you equip yourself with a 1/2-inch-drive breaker bar with a short 1/2-inch-drive, 15mm socket and pull out the stock intercooler and shroud, you will save yourself a ton of time with the bottom two bolts. With the cooler out, you can pull on the wrench from the passenger side to remove the two bolts--and be sure not to break the plastic intercooler fan when you're down there.
