Is there a simple guide to taking off the turbo? or does it all involve draining of oil removing exhaust manifold and that?

Yes you need to drain the oil and coolant, the turbo is mainly supported from the top (through the manifold 3 bolts) and onto the downpipe, you need to remove the coolant and oil lines which is a pita, as is swapping from the top of the car to the bottom all the time.
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
