Let's see, 3/8 drive 13mm socket, flexible universal joint, 9 inch (I think) extension with the ratchet on the far side of the water pump. Unbolt the coolant reservoir tank and swing it to the side to get more room to move. If that doesn't work, remove the intercooler hose on the bottom of the turbo and come up from below with a stubby combination wrench.
I have to admit that it is no fun. What really made my day was the nut was cross threaded on at the factory and I snapped off the stud. I had to drill out the old one and re-tap the hole in the turbocharger flange. Try putting some Liquid Wrench on everything before you start.
