GTM Turbo Removal

hey guys! the car has had the gtm kit in it since 2010 and it looks like its time to replace the oil seals in the turbo. i am not sure if 5 years and the oil seal going is a good thing or bad? I was wondering how hard would it be to remove both turbos? thanks for your help guys!

The GTM kits leave little wiggle room to get in there and mess around. I was looking at the same thing but to upgrade the GT28s to GT30s or GT35s. Just need to figure out the best approach.

I've had to have mine replaced/rebuilt.My mechanic said *** **** ****** translated to it's pretty tight an if you move this /take this off move this bolt an push just a little *** (exaggerated for comic purposes) ..after the first 2-3 times of doing it you'll figure out a few tricks so its "not too bad". Although yes It is Tight...Lemme Tell you Though..Having oil get past those seals will make for one amazingly embarrassing smoke show..
