I have already used this, thing is the turbo was changed in november so it shouldnt be rusted bolts, think my prob is lack of room to get to the bolts.

i used a 2 foot breaker bar with the right sized hexagonal type socket and a 1/2" drive ratchet and the above blow torch method on the last rounded bolt.

if you have removed the TMIC and all surrounding items that are in the way,the above tools should be all you need really
