Removing Ats turbo from 6.9

I took the intake hat off, which was one bolt and a hose clamp. Then I loosened up the down pipe clamp and slid it off. Unbolted the oil line and pushed it out of the way. Then removed the four bolts holding my turbo to the up pipe (those were tough). Without looking at it, I think it was that simple. I pulled the turbo off as an assembly, lifting the oil drain straight up with it out of the valley pan. Obviously some finagling was required as I pulled it out, but very minor stuff.
My kit is banks though. I have zero experience with the ats kit, just sharing what I had to do in case it helps. I bolted mine back on the same way I took it out, and it took multiple tries to get that oil tube in the right spot without pushing the rubber grommet out of place.
I'm a big fan of pb blaster a couple days in advance. But I also HATE rust (like everyone here) and am lucky enough to live in a lower rust area and have vehicles that are relatively rust free. Living a mile from the ocean this last year has taken a noticeable effect on my vehicles; moving to a place more inland with a garage (not to get away from rust, but to get away from renting).
Now now kids, play nice.

There star pattern.
the texas guy preaching rusty bolts to the Ohio guy hahaha thats riiiiiiiich
But you did ask them to "do it for you". Your asking for the size of the bolt that holds the return line on, what is stopping you from figuring this out?
Without someone going to there truck and figuring this out for you, what more advise do you want than to stick ALL torqs sizes in it untill you find one that fits?

OK.... Other have said it..... now I will say it. Back on topic before it gets any deeper. I WILL be watching this one.......
NO ONE NEEDS A VACATION OVER A STUPID BOLT!!!
There, back to your regularly scheduled program......
Ok, so they are Torx..... do you have a set of bits? I got my various sets Autozone and Horrible Freight..... I have little to big, even have a few of the "Tamper proof" bits......
At least there not a "Triple Square" like my VW does to hold the half-shaft on.......
$14 dollar bit to take out and replace 6 F-IN bolts.............

Thanks I was waiting for a Mod to Chime in.
Yes I have some Torx Bits haven't really messed with it letting PB Blaster do it's magic.
going to pick up some Gear wrenches tomorrow should make separating the turbo pedestal a lot easier.

Ah XZN and I thought mercedes was the only company devilish enough to use em.
Nope... the Germans seem to love those DAMN things. I've heard of Mercedes, VW/Audi and Porsche using them.
I even found when I was looking for a bit (yes I only bought the ONE that I needed, a set like I posted above is $60+) that Toyota/Scion/Lexus are using these XZN/Triple Square fasteners for HEAD BOLTS!!!!!!
What was wrong with a good old Allen Head Cap Screw?!?!?!?!?

i really hope you took a trip to the hardware store on this one.
Actually, I didn't. I figured after spending money on the bit, I should at least get my moneys worth.....
