Hi,

I wrote aboit the provlem before, but now I guess it is time to go from thinking towards doing. I need to service turbo and PCV on V9X engine, so there are 3 options, I guess:
1. Took cabin off and have easy access to all hardware
2. Took engine out, but I guess there are quite some exhaust bolts hard to access. This involves also removing radiator and stuff
3. Remove bumper, radiator and few other rhings and just tilt engine few inches forward to get hands on turbo. This also involves hard to access exhaust.

My question is, how complicated is to lift the cabin off compared to other methods to get access to turbo and sruff?
Having in mind here are no mechanics who have experience with this vehicle.
