ok so i guess the dude before me put like amillion different bolts in different places and i found standard sized stuff on it to. i've gotten everything off except for taking hte turbo off the turbo from the exhaust manifold. I cant get between there to get my T28 (S15) turbo out. I ahve a stock exhaust manifold so its a real B!t@*. I've gotten off 6/8 of the bolts attaching the manifold to the block but the 2 above the turbo i cant seem to get to. Any tips?

You can't get the turbo off the manifold right?

It's a real pain to do with the manifold and turbo still on the car. Most people pull the manfold and turbo as one then take it off.

i tired both ways takign the turbo off manifold. and i've tried doing the manfiold off the block. but i have a stock manifold thsoes are hard to get into with a socket. and well i got one in the right position to still turn it and all turn it 180 degrees then my socket fell cause it wasnt fully attached to the extention cause that was the only way to get it to work to have it barely on the extention. and now i cant find my 14mm deep socket its lost somewhere in my engine bay. ididnt hear it hit the floor so it swimming some in there
