Eliminating the EGR pipe does make it allot easier to remove the turbo and manifold.
2 weeks ago I saw a small leak at the hose clamp at the coolant inlet on the turbo, before tightening the clamp I pried the banjo fitting and hose up a bit to move the clamp away from the impeller housing, but instead the metal hose connected to the banjo fitting cracked, I had to pull the turbo off.
To my surprise it only took 30 minutes to drain some of the coolant, and remove the turbo and manifold from the car.
