I know nothing about that particular application. But any turbo I've seen with much time on it has fasteners so corroded that the way to remove them is with an oxy/acetylene torch.

Try to split the nuts with a small sharp chisel,, even a partial split will loosen them..

A cutting blade on a 4 1/2" grinder will aid the splitting of the nuts. Cut at an angle so you can use the chisel to spread the nut.

Tim S, how's it going? Must be you're still at it. By your advice, sounds like maybe there's studs involved which would be good to save.

Parts catalog shows bolts with nuts, for the turbo and elbow both, same as my 450E. I would confirm they are as the catalog shows. If they are you can try removing them with wrenches, they might snap off. If that doesn't work, cut the nuts or heads off. I had to do some of both when I pulled the elbow on mine to replace the adapter sleeve between the turbo and elbow.
