You can see boost levels in red, they never go above 2.7 psi I believe.

Using a cheap eBay bushing press kit. The original M12 threaded rod snapped so I got a grade 8 replacement and that worked like a charm

Just got the subframe and steering rack out. The engine is hanging here. The driver side axle was never removed from the wheel, just pulled from the differential since the control arms were detached.

The engine will soon be hanging from this for two weeks. The engine hanging point is very far forward so the bar is as well.

I was loosening the bolts that hold the motor mount to the subframe. Not sure why I did it at this point, maybe because I thought I'd have more space by removing the mount or something... Just do it once the subframe is out.

Here's the subframe out. I put jackstands under the rear and the jack at the front and progressively lowered it.

I never removed driver side axle from the hub, just from the diff. This is the engine without the subframe. For the steering I just disconnected the steering shaft and the banjo bolts that connect the lines to the rack.

I kept a jack stand under the oil pan as a backup for the support bar. Here's the diff off to the side. I never removed it from the driveshaft. It's heavier than I thought and it wobbles quite a bit because of the u-joints. But it was no problem leaving on top of a bucket here.

Got the oil pan all cleaned up before installing the new gasket. I was surprised how much oil was still in it when I removed it.

The block looks pretty simple when all those lines and turbos are removed.
