i am replacing my standard exhaust manifold and up-pipe with an uprated one ,i have the manifold off and downpipe out of the way and all of the bolts out of the up-pipe ,the up-pipe is hanging loose now but iv no space to remove it ,the only way i can see of getting it out of there is removing the turbo and then the pipe will come up from the top??

theres no space to get it out from the bottom because the head and subframe are in the way.

is removing the turbo what iv to do to get out the up-pipe?
