umm, does the turbo have to be removed to get the head off?? Can i just unbolt it, and slide the head away from it or something??

If you remove the stock brace underneath.... you can take the head off with the manifold and turbo... it'll just be heavy as hell.
It meant, "what?"
Your post didn't make any sense.
What do you really want to do?
Remove the head without touching the turbo?
If so, that's a lost cause... best to take everything off.

yes, i meant leave the turbo in place, and just remove the head by unbolting it from the manifold, or the manifold from the head... is this possible?
it's not really worth it.
The oil return lines will need to come off to get the whole thing to move WITH THE manifold far enough off the studs of the head to remove the head.
At that point, there are only 4 nuts holding the turbo to the manifold anyway.
You can try it... but when you're there... you'll say "forget that." And you'll just pull the turbo first.
