    I finally found all the bolts for the GBOD. However, I can't figure for the life of me how to get them out. Turbo XS's instructions say pull out to rear of the car, but I can't see how this can happen. Do I chop 'em up er what?

    So you have all the bolts out already? Hope you had a ratcheting wrench. :)

    I did these last summer so it's kind of tough to remember exactly what I did. Just jimmy them around a bit. The driver side comes off easy. Passenger side was trickier, but it is possible to get that one off WITHOUT unplugging the TGV sensor, which is preferable because they are spring-loaded and you don't have to fuss with putting that sensor back in correctly.

    That's not terribly helpful I suppose, but you just have to pull various things out of the way and do some combination of pulling and twisting to get them out.

    Racheting wrench, box wrench, ratchet, universal joint, two extensions, and a bunch of profanity.

    Driver side is easy? Hmmmm, can the injectors be installed without fully removing these things? I guess I'll try shanking them like a polaroid picture.
