Looks like it should help you out.

Hi mate, you didn't search very well, lol!

A sticky on this 8P section on how to remove turbo http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-...turbo-clean-sticky-vane-causes-overboost.html

Hope it helps

You beat me to it daz!

Having watched my mate change mine, I would say that you really need to do it up on ramps. It can all be done from below using long extension bars. You should get the Oil fee pipe, a full gasket kit with the turbo (if it is a generic one get a proper exhaust gasket from TPS or Audi as we found the generic ones don't fit) I would also get a replacement exhaust clamp. Leave plenty of time - I think the book time is 3 hours. My mate who has done a few did it in 2 1/2 hours. Also a short-cut you can manoeuvre the turbo in/out using the void left by removing the DP by bending the heatshield slightly (saves dropping the subframe).
