Hello there does anybody knows if the turbos on the fd can come out without takin the engine out?
Thanks

yup, i have done it. its fiddly mind! from memory, all the pipes etc off, then disconnect the shaft from the steering rack, then down pipe (which is a real pain) and then feeling for all the bolts holding the turbo pack. it was a mixture of going in from the top and from underneath, but it can be done!

Did this myself last month.  The only real problem for me were the bolts holding the front turbo oil return, spent hours getting these back in!
Take everything off till you just have the turbo studs left to do, then soak in WD40 overnight.
