What is the simplest procedure to R&R the turbo on a 2006 Jetta?
Can it be done w/o removing the egr?

I'm currently attempting to remove and then replace my turbo with a pd140, how ever this is my first time ever doing anything like this. Would you guys have any pictures or links to a video for a diy guide? Thanks it would be super helpful.What is the simplest procedure to R&R the turbo on a 2006 Jetta?

I should be putting mine in this weekend w/ a brand new EGR cooler. I'll take pics.

Can you elaborate on that? Just remove the center bolt at the wheel hub and bolts at the transmission flange and the axle comes out? No need to separate the tie rod end or the ball joint or the knuckle from the strut?We take them out the bottom, with the right axle removed. Axles come out really easy on the A5, because you don't need to unbolt/remove anything from the suspension. It just comes out.
That is the way I remember it. Once removed, the inner axle side can be dropped down such that it is easily removed once the axle nut is removed. Very easy indeed. However, be very careful to insure no load stress is on the hub, as unlike many cars I have seen, the VW wheel bearing can be damaged if there is stress on it without the axle and nut correctly installed beforehand.Can you elaborate on that?

I think the axle should not be removed from the car. The 6 bolts holding the axle connected to the DSG should be removed and the axle be moved out of the way to make room for the turbo removal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.I got the axle bolt out but can't seem to drive the axle out.
