    Turbo Charger removal

    On a 2005 ram3500, can the turbo be removed without removing the exhaust manifold? I have the turbo/exhaust manifold nuts removed (:)). I still need about 2 more inches of drop. Drain pipe is out of the way. Do I have to remove the exhaust pipe from the support bracket and move it out of the way?
