I had a small oil leak coming from the rear turbo oil supply that quickly turned into a disaster. I ended up replacing this in the car, in the driveway without actually removing the turbo. I unbolted the cat from the mid pipe and left the turbo connected to the cat due to very rusty bolts. I then unbolted the turbo from the manifold so i could slide it back quarter inch. The torx bolt for the supply line is under the manifold so it is a PITA to access. The hardest part was getting the new line into the turbo because its mostly blind operation so be patient with it. I setup a mirror / camera which helped me see what I was doing.
I plan on replacing this turbo soon (already have brand new one in box) so I just needed to slap this together for now. If anyone else has this problem it can be done with turbo in the car.
