turbo coming out

Right the turbo has gone on my nm35 so its in my mate's workshop but its the first one he has worked on. been looking on here for a step by step guide to pulling out the turbo but can't seem to see one. as he is thinking he may have to pull the engine out, any help would be good

I haven't done it but it can be removed engine in. I believe the gearbox crossmember needs to be unbolted and lowered a few inches to provide clearance. I would imagine a number of socket extensions, unis, cut down spanners and some other contraptions may be needed. Definitely doable. Hopefully someone who has done it can add to this.

Quite a few threads if you search "M35 turbo removal" - haven't read them but should be a good place to start.
