What have you removed?

Need to unbolt the down pipe, the compressor Y pipe, the exhaust collector or babys butt, then remove the two bolts on top of the turbo center section...

At the bottom of the exhaust housing there is a small clip, push it toward the turbo to unhook the exhaust back pressure valve...

Remove turbo.

I use a special tool called my index finger... I use it to push the clip closer to the turbo pedistal. Your not trying to remove the clip, just sliding it over.
