I finally got enough free time over the weekend to complete the job. Thanks to those who offered advice. The hardest part of it was trying to get the bolts holding the wastegate actuator back in place, followed in difficulty by the allen bolts on the turbo's oil return pipe. Very tight going.

The job was prompted by hearing gas blow past one failed gasket. I found that three of the four were cracked and were likely to leak soon. They were in very bad shape.

It was great to hear nothing when I was finished.
