Turbo install

Hi, is there a detailed how to of how to R&R a K04 turbo? It looks straightforward, but the 4 lower manifold bolts look impossible to get to...Its an automatic and I do not have a lift...Thanks

when I did mine, they dropped the engine.

Sadly, the timing chain slipped right afterwards (hint), and my engine imploded. 140k miles. Form your your own opinion.
