Nah, but you do have to unbolt the turbo from the manifold and replace the bolts and gaskets

there were some nuts I couldn't get to with the turbo in situ. You're best off just loosening it to get access IMO

Its actually an easy job aslong as you arent using an OEM downpipe = Theyre a bastard to remove on floor at home/no air tools.
