Removing ATS 088 non-wastegated Y Pipe

[jhenegh]

I'm trying to pull this turbo so I can get the engine out but I've come along a catch 22. Ive got the whole turbo loose, all nuts & bolts removed from exhaust and mounts; it wiggles freely. The Y-pipe wont come off the passenger side manifold studs though because I can't drop the assembly low enough to do so. If I had the motor loose I could just start lifting it but alas, the turbo blocks the top 2 bolts to unbolt the transmission. I'm pretty sure I need to get the Y-pipe off the turbo outlet but it is TIGHT. How do I get this done?

Thanks

Just found the info I needed finally from searching. Looks like either remove exhaust manifold or lift cab are my options. Hmm... didn't plan on either of these.

This complete kit will be for sale when it is off!

Hmmm...I'm guessing this is one of the reasons that bolts are recommended to replace the exhaust manifold studs...

I was able to get the whole thing loose after getting the manifold off but I still can't snake out out. I was able to get to all the transmission bolts now though so hopefully I can start pulling the engine and get the turbo off.l

Got it all out with the engine. Luckily the engine was coming out anyway, because that's the only way I saw this thing coming.

I didn't think of that.
Installing an ATS 088 on a '94 F250 w/E4OD Trans. Some instructions would be helpful. I could only find the 093 Instructions.
