I am also considering removing the whole exhaust manifold as well as my few remaining golden locks of hair as I can't seem to gain access to my t3 turbo wastegate "inerds"! does anyone know the secrets to getting the damn retaining spring out to remove cover? I read here "two small screwdrivers" isn't doing it!? help please! I want to turn up my boost from 8lbs. to ? 13lbs? I know someone here has to know how frustrating "Hans and Franz" sometimes can be...thanks for any info./help! Mike
