Mr. Bentley says it does. They describe a procedure where the exhaust manifold is unbolted from the turbo and then comes out with the head.
So is it actually possible to remove the bank-2 cylinder head without removing the engine?

At that time, I left the manifold with the car. Eventually removing it altogether with the engine
still in the car. I was trying to track the root cause of a problem out and knew i was going to end up pulling the engine eventually. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to get the exhaust manifold reseated to the head or vice-versa with the engine still in the car as i put them back in attached.

Do you think the manifold would come out with the head if left attached?
I guess that would still be the easier way if it can be done. According to Bentley, the manifold attaches with three bolts to the turbo. I presume these are reachable while the engine is in the car.
