Hey 1854Sailor,
have you gotten the old turbo out yet? I have a similar situation as you on a parallel thread. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=424921&page=2
I'm getting the blown turbo out now. Frans doesn't have any BV43A's in stock, so I got a good used 1749A for now, and hope to upgrade later at a better time.
All the turbo nuts have been relatively easy to get at except one. Where the Turbo and exhaust maifold meet there are 3 nuts, one top and 2 below. The top nut is only a few mm forward of the Exhaust manifold's EGR connection. I can get a 12mm closed end wrench on it but don't have room to move it. There's enough room for a 12mm socket but can't get the wrench on it?
Have you gottne on this nut yet? The turbo vacuum actuator is in the way, so I'm guessing I hva eot remove it, but I was hoping there was an easier way.
50HarleyRider, you've done a turbo removal recently too, do you remmeber how oyu got that nut off?
Thanks alot,
Dan

It looks like I have to remove the intake manifold.
