  Not all that tough in the TD.  TDI looks a bit harder to do since the turbo
is below the manifolds instead of above.  Haven't really looked but it's darn
hard to get much of a look at the turbo!  On the TD don't follow the
directions
like Nate did!  ;-)  Put it in the center hole and it's much easier!  Not
even
a bad job if you have an air chisel available.  Get enough of a slot in it to
get an angle ended pry bar in and pry.  Clean with emory cloth, put a dab
of grease around the opening and install the freeze plug heater.
  Of course then there's the super-deluxe version that Lee (?) put in.  You
could nearly heat your house with it!  :)
