Loosen it with the open end of a wrench, and loosen the rest. Clock the turbo and it's out.

Werd...and hit it up with a torch if it's really stubborn to get loose.

I've had a few with that problem where they started to round out. If they are loose already, you have to clock the center section to get it out.
If the bolt is not loose, use a cutting disc on an angle grinder and cut the oil inlet part so you can get the closed end of the wrench on. I have a wrench that I grinded to make it a little narrower.
The oil inlet should be tapped for a fitting, so no need for the bolt flange. If not, tap it.
Good luck.

Yeah the bolts that are holding them are all rounded off. So i decided i'll probably just cut them or do what you just said white rice. That bolt is rounded off to hell. But i found a rebuild kit that has all the stuff i need that is all fucekd up so it's all good :y
