[urq] Head, manifold and downpipe removal

[Thatcher Hubbard]

When I took mine apart I had to remove the downpipe as well.  Is it
possible to get the wastegate separated from the EM and the DP
separated from the turbo?  I think both of those can be done by one
set of hands.

I suggest that because removing the axle would probably not be a lot of fun.
