I forgot to mention one special tool one need to disassemble turbo - RIBE 6mm bit.
Kneale pointed me to GB site where it is available (~$40 for a set of 7 bits, which you never use
anywhere else).  I could not locate the bit in US.  Maryland Metrics probably could get it because
they list it but nobody never heard there about RIBE.
I ended up asking  guys in parts dept. in my local dealership to break those bolts on 2 turbos. They
were very nice, as usual, by the way. They are helpful and knowledgeable.
I have torx bits T27 and T30 - first is small and second is big.  Something in between might work as
well.
