It's hard to take a good photo with so small space, but here is where I am. I've already used 2 metal blades and the bolt is cut almost halfway. I'm going back to the hardware store tonight to get some new one, I might also spend a little bit more on better quality blades : )

I'm glad I did myself.
I spent about 230$ in tools (that I didn't have) to do this, but:
My last mechanic quote was 1200$ in labor to replace the turbo.
Don't get me wrong, I understand why it would cost that much.... time!
I've spent about 38 hours to do this (this includes going to the hardware store 3 times), and I'm not finished yet, I still need to install the damn thing.
I ordered all new hardware and seals from Travis at Rennbay Tuesday,
hopefully the ups guy will knock at my door tomorrow.
