Just fyi, if anyone gets the joy of replacing one of these. The wsm has you remove the ptu and catalyst for access. It can be done from above, leaving these items in place. Remove the upper and lower wiper cowl. Remove the pass side coolant pipe to the turbo, remove the exhaust manifold heat shield, and you have access to it. It's tight, but do-able. I spun the nut right off the stud for the hold in clamp, took block heater and spacers off, then fished the stud and the wedge plate out. The new one goes right in as the wedge plate hasn't been spread yet. I spent a fair bit of time staring at it wondering if it would work. Could probably be done in 1.5 to 2.0 now that I know it can be done and what to remove.
