Nope, remving the turbo is not necessary. I was watching the mechanics do it, all they did was remove the radiator and my downpipe. They used the stock donut gasket and the stock hotside gasket as well.

i had mine installed with stock gasket and donut
the stock gasket looked better and stronger so we reused it
works perfect and no leaks :)

If you have the time you should take off the turbo as it'll make the job so much easier in the long run. problem is if you half ass a job you might just take longer at the end. bolts can break or you'll have a hard time running tools through your car to change the o2.


good luck

i took my turbo off to do it... all things considered it's not too much more of a hassle. you already have to take out the radiator/ac condensor and downpipe to get enough room to do it.... why not just unbolt the mani and take it all off in one peice... slap the o2 on and put it back in.... trying to unbolt and pry the stock o2 housing off then get the new one in and tightened up right would be a PITA with it still in the engine bay.
