The best thing for you to do is get a Chilton's or a Hayne's manual and it list's everything that you need.

Chilton's: locate turbo and remove......yadda yadda yadda.

Here ya go. dont know about everyone else, but this is how i do it............might be a good idea to soak some of the flange bolts in some WD-40 or Blaster for a bit before you start.

1) Jack up the car
2) Disconnect "down-pipe" exhaust section from back of turbo
While you are under there......
3) Disconnect the water return line ( hoses to block ( if never updated the earlier cars wont have this ) )
4) Disconnect the bottom bolt of the "V" brace that goes into the block.
5) Disconnect the oil return line from the bottom of the turbo ( leave the other part in the block
6) Disconnect the 2 bottom flange bolts on the turbo to manifold...and then pull off the "V" bracket

get out from undeneath car

7) Disconnect the oil feed line on top of turbo ( be careful, usually fragile if not touched in a while )
8) Disconnect the water feed lines ( if never updated the earlier cars wont have this )
9) Disconnect the remaining 2 bolts from the turbo housing hotside to manifold flange.


and on the chilton's note.......installation is reverse of removal......
