WOW, try this one:
Remove the bracket that goes around the head pipe and to the bell housing bolt.
Remove all exhaust manifold bolts.
Disconnect EGR pipe from manifold.
Disconnect oil feed pipe from top of turbo and pipe bracket from front of turbo.
Remove two bolts from oil return pipe in bottom of turbo.
Now with everything loose take a BIG screwdriver at put the tip of it right down in the crevice where the studs that the turbo bolts to the manifold are. Pry the turbo and manifold back and out of the way.
When it comes out it will tend to pop up a little bit. When you go back together make sure that you do not screw up the return pipe O ring and gasket set up. Because it pops up a little bit when it comes apart you may have to use a big dead blow to get it to pop back down onto the manifold studs.
I am sure this sounds a little on the brutal side but I have done countless cylinder heads and manifold gaskets this way. Using the above technique to just change out mani gaskets you can be in a out of a set of turbo car gaskets in 30 minutes or less no problem.
