It really helped in removing my turbo, to pull the radiator out; its press-fit into a couple rubber grommets in the "frame rails" and has one small bracket at the top that holds it to the intercooler and condneser; take off the radiator hoses, drain coolant into a bucket and pull the radiator; it gives you another couple inches to work which helps when removing the downpipe and turbo; leave the manifold on. Behind the turbo is a mounting bracket that attaches the turbo to the block that you'll have to remove. Before you take anything apart, go out a day or two ahead of time and give everything a sniff of PB Blaster. I did, and every nut came off with a wrench; it was one of those "yank real hard because you know the stuff will be frozen on" deals, only to have everything come loose really easily and you rake your hand into something because you were pulling too hard.
**Ahem** I've got a nice TD04 for sale if need be.
