before you attempt to loosen anything get ahold of eeuroparts.
as in go shopping for what you need, those four studs the nuts screw onto can strip the threads clean off and if a socket is used can bend the stud so bad it can not be reused.
the task your about to take on has to be noted you may have the car out of service for a good long time being the studs have to be replaced that are screwed into the turbo unit.
and thats going to take some work if they are insisted on staying where they are.

in a perfect world the procedure is realitivly simple.
unbolt the 3 bolt item that holds the exhaust pipe to unit.
pull the ducktwork off the front of the unit (the air intake)
and unbolt the four bolts, replace with a gasket supplied to you from eeuro, and revers the uninstallation.
but seeing we do not live in a perfect world, look for the exhaust studs eeuro is selling and pick up a few along with the gasket.
make sure to get new nuts being the ones holding the turbo now are sure to strip when you try to remove them.

just letting you know this can be the worst thing you might experience in a long time, just becouse those nuts are on so tight your going to need the force of the titanic hitting that ice burg on the back of that socket wrench.

(just a note: the titanic was a boat)

removing the turbo unit can rate anywhere from 3 to a 9 10 being take it to an Indy.
its rough but blast the bolts with some pb blaster and just go at it. i know i would.
