[Supras] Possible... or not?

That may not be necassary. I wet out to my car last night and messed with 
it. Drove it around the block. It was making this high pitched clicking 
noise in the engine compartment. On the way home from the test drive it 
acted as if it coughed and it freed up itself. The high pitched clicking 
noise went away. I have a exhaust leak where at the manifold to the block. 
Its annoying and it seems to be decreasing my power...ALOT. I might need to 
buy a good manifold off of one of you guys in the next month or so. The 
truth is... I'm fealing really lazy about taking the turbo and everything 
off... My downpipe is a bitch to hook up cuz its so tightly in there. And... 
is there an easy way to get to the nuts for the oil return at the turbo?  I 
have been going from the top and some how bending my arm in an awkward and 
painful way.
