Just bolted on isn't it....electrical connector and rod clips....pretty simple.

3 retaining bolt holes.

Bottom view of turbo.
Can you get at the 3 flush bolts and the clip for the arm with the turbo in situ?
If not the turbo shall need to come out.
The 2012 turbo was taken out with the front of the van and lhs headlamp off.

There is a bracket on the bottom of the catalytic which'll need to be taken off so as to give wiggle room for the top flange to be removed from the turbo.
The turbo flange to the exhaust manifold shall need to be loosened to give wiggle room to get the catylic flange away from the turbo.
The top two bolts and the bottom bolt of the turbo oil drain shall need to be removed to give wiggle room to lift the turbo out.
The above is not everything.
You may need new bolts for the flanges and gaskets for the turbo oil drain.
The oil to the turbo on the block is difficult to get at.

Have it all loosened/removed and ready to lift out. The turbo is a bit heavy without it cleanly lifting out you could be struggling/dangling/stuck.

Can it be changed without removing turbo

Because I can’t remove this bolt

Because I can’t remove this bolt! If there is sufficient thread with the original nut on, another nut could be put on and tightened against the original nut. May need a bit of heat on the flange. With a spanner on the original nut turn to undo the nut. The two tightened nuts might get the stud out. Needs a good sufficient thread and nuts and access.

Can it be changed without removing turbo? Don't know! Did you look in the posts and on the internet for info' re' take it off?

With the catalytic flange away from the turbo ex flange the turbo unit should come away from the stud. Getting the catalytic flange out of the way was not easy.

Sometimes, when you can't get at something, or something is in the way, you can support the engine and take off a mount, then you are able to tilt or move the engine to allow better access.
