Message	the motor being ready to be pulled. I cant imagine trying to do it any other way. Just because you can get to the nuts/bolts holding the turbos on, doesnt mean you can do the job, the driver side especially likes to fight removal even with everything disconnected. Dunno how you can expect to wrestle with it with the motor still in the car. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform." --Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill
