exhaust pipe won't come off the turbo
I need to get the pipe that connects to the turbo off. The flange is off and all of the hangers are disconnected but it still won't come off. It does not appear to be welded togther.

It's probably stuck together with carbon from the exhaust stream. I suggest gentle tapping with a hammer to loosen the connection. You don't say whether you mean the intake to the turbo from the exhaust manifold or the exit to the exhaust pipe.
I presume you have had the trap cat recall performed?

It's the exit to the exhaust pipe. I have tried tapping it with a hammer, and applied a porta power to it, still no go.

Stick a 2x2 into it and rock it off.

Been there, done that. Didn't work.
A piece of wood in the pipe wrenched around will take it off quickly and easily.

I've taken a few off, knocked the pipe around with a big rubber mallet until it came loose. A block of wood might work also.

Two persuaders I really love having: a big rubber mallet, and a brass mallet (or lead).

Same here, I have used a 3# rubber dead blow. also used a brass drift on
the edge of the pipe at the turbo and knocked it towards the firewall. they get stubborn with the rust and soot build up, almost like it welded. I wonder if taking the mount off the transmission will give some movement. just be careful of the flex joint wiggling the pipe from underneith. It will crack. charlie
