[Supras] ct-26 removal/install question?

[joe at wilmcd.com]

You absolutely need that turbo brace. You may have even stripped some of
the exhaust manifold holes in which case you will need to helicoil them.

In order to remove the turbo on the car you should be able to do it with a
ratchet extension or two and a universal joint. I think I used to remove
the oil drain from the block and leave it attached to the turbo.
Hope that helps.
