I don't recall if there is anything else bolted up that might get in the way (maybe the turbo brace iirc??). Don't recall having any issue getting it off either so that's weird ... have you tried putting a screwdriver in-between and tyring to pry it off?

Ya, dont blow up.

Take it real easy the first couple hundred miles, like NO BOOST at all.

Then, only do LIGHT BOOST for a few hundred more miles.

Then, make sure your new wastegate/MBC/EBC is working correctly, and then you can go full boost.

And start saving money, cause you will need a new clutch shortly.

And no, I do not have an upgraded turbo, but I am pretty sure the above procedure is what Whooosh did.
