No, because it is part of the exhaust manifold

There are four bolts that hold the turbo onto the manifold - two of which you can probably get to relatively easily - but the other two will probably be a #### to get at. They may also need some heat to help you undo them, so yep, manifold off.

good luck with it!

Adrian I just took some pics for you so you can see the turbo, what comes off with it and the bolt locations. Bear in mind the manifold sitting on my engine is upside down.

I pulled my engine out from my 110 yesterday morning and might tear down later today or tomorrow....will start with the turbo and manifold first.
