Default Does anyone have any tips on getting the stock turbo out?

I've gotten far enough in my install where I have the stock manifold off and the turbo is hanging loose but I can't get it out. The oil return line keeps getting snagged on things so Im having trouble pulling it through. I can't get to the bolt to remove the line so I cant get it off. Did anyone else run into problems like this?

Default Did you drain all the oil and unbolt the oil return line from the oil pan?

You also have to unbolt the coolant return line and the small support bracket that holds the K03 up.

Yes, I did all of that, I'm just having trouble with the getting the oil return line to clear everything on the way up. It keeps snagging on everything imaginable.

Disconnect it from the turbo.

Default Found this was still connected too, but I can't get it off...

I think it is the coolant return line. Once I get this off I should be able to get the thing out pretty easily.

Default Like I said earlier, that is the coolant hose.

That is the coolant hose that bolts up to the block and has a bango fitting on the block side of the turbo. If you look up from under the car you will see what I am talking about.
