it's a bitch but can be done with the turbo and turbo extension still connected. the only real way to get it out like this is to unbolt the downpipe, 02 sensor, manfold from the head (this is assuming you've already removed the intake/hotpipe and elbows from the turbo along with water/oil lines). then unbolt the dipstick from the water outlet, pull the upper radiator hose, and unbolt/remove the water outlet from the head. i've done it like that and gotten it all out as one piece, but it's quite the pain in the ass even with all that stuff removed. if you're feeling real ambitious remove the steering shaft too, that will make life much easier.
