Pretty sure I have a leak at the exhaust manifold. I’m planning to do a turbo swap while I’m in there.
Main question
Can I pull the turbo/exhaust manifold unit from the bottom leaving the intake in place? I have a car lift and seems like it’ll it’s possible, it may be the easiest. Thank you in advance

I do them mostly from the top. Under underneath it would be the downpipe, bracket and oil line. Most everything else is on top and then pull it out the top. I'm sure others do them differently.

Be careful what you decide is a good turbo. It's not the one with the 'great price' on Fleabay.
