Taking a turbo apart?
I've never been inside a turbo before. Is there any reason why I can't undo the four bolts attaching the compressor to the exhaust housing, the oil line and stuff, and just slide out the "cartridge" (compressor/bearing assembly/exhaust wheel) with the exhaust turbine housing still on the truck? Seems like a waste of effort and hard on the gaskets to take the whole unit off to take it apart.

Yep, it can be done, and I did it. Easy, no problems.
