The manifold fouls the turbo as it comes off. You can unbolt the turbo and lay it back, then the manifold will clear but there's not much point. It's good to have the turbo fully off so you can check it and clean up the block and the EGR faces properly.

 

Thanks for that..... Will the manifold and turbo come out in one piece?

 

No, they are separate things on all of the 2.5's (yours included) But they are in one piece on the 1.9's. If you google/images the two turbos you will see the difference

 

I was wondering does the turbo HAVE to be dropped off the manifold to get them out, or can you get the manifold out with the turbo still fixed to it?

 

You don;t need 3 pairs of hands as there's not a lot of room behind the turbo Even if you did fit the turbo loosely to the manifold before refitting it won't go in and the turbo will need to be removed to get to port 2 bottom exhaust stud to be able to get the nut on.
The easiest is to remove the rear engine mount to make a bit more room to get to the oil flange mounting bolts under the turbo
