Jack up driverside from memory. Near the bulkhead under the turbo

So from underneath then? All videos ive found have gone from top but theyve always  been different model cars!  Cheers, will get it on my ramps weekend hopefully.

I know you can get the 225bhp ko4 from the top. And probally the aum and other ko3 turbos aswell.
Looking at the downpipe id go underneather. Last one i did was in a mk2 golf and had to be done from through the drivers wheel arch. As soon as there cracked off they normally spin out pretty easy anyway.
Have you got a lambda socket or are you using a spanner
