The hidden bolt (Item 50) attaches the exhaust manifold (Item 5) to the bracket (Item 47), and is secured by a nut (Item 53) as shown in the second picture on the attached link below.

(Number 47, 53, and 50 in the attached EPC drawing).
It is hard to photograph.
You need two 17mm wrenches to remove it.
Postion your wrenches by feel.
Hold the wrench on the fastener furthest from the engine, and turn the wrench on the fastener closest to the engine.
Remove that nut and bolt!
Then turbo and exhaust manifold can be pivoted away from the engine, and then lifted up and out of the engine bay  |
Dude, great info right there. The dual 17mm wrench thing sounds like a pain, but with your pictures, I should be able to figure it out. So, is that your pyrometer in the manifold? Also, how did you achieve that look on the manifold? Did you have a metal shop polish it, or did you add a special coating? Sell me that setup that you have for a reasonable price and I'll send you my core when I remove it?
