Followed instructions to remove brake booster that was hissing all the way thru - have removed airfilter case, fusebox, ABS,master cylinder, taken off the 4 nuts holding the brake booster inside the firewall.

However, when I try to slide the brake booster out it does not have enough room to slide it all the way out. It is hitting up against the metal turbo intake pipes. I can loosen the one clamp on top, what else do I need to remove - can't figure out how to move it out of the way.

Any help will be greatly appreciated - have a disabled car in the driveway.

Did you get any assistance in your removal? I am in exactly the same spot and am not quite sure how to remove the turbo pipe that is in the way.

There is a clamp at the turbo on that pipe, 10 mm bolt, and you will beat your knuckles up getting it removed. After you remove the bolt in the clamp you will be able to wiggle the turbo pipe off and remove it from the car.

Hope this helps
