P.S. what is the easiest way to get it out, and back in???

 

you should replace the turbo oil lines while your in there. you should be using mobil1 5w30 or 0w40 and M301 oil filter. what turbo are you replacing it with? and why are you replacing it? try posting in the A4>B5 forums you will get alot more response there.

you should try and inject some oil into the turbo before you put it all together, it takes a few seconds between the time you turn the key and the time the oil gets to the turbo for the first time. in those few seconds you can cause a tremendous amount of wear if there is no oil in there already.
