You will need to get all the heatshield crap off the cat, and drain a bit of water from the system plus the oil return pipe comes off easily but is a bas---- to get back on. WD40 on the nuts and leave for a while.

I know it has already been suggested to drain a bit of coolant but personally I would get rid of it all as you will loose a lot anyways when you remove the turbo.
