Changing the turbo in my girlfriends glanza and it looks like the oil feed pipe is behind the aircon box. Does this need romoved and will I need the system regassed if I do?

Well I've seen a mechanic who took a turbo from my Glanza in about 5 min -) Another mechanic had to remove the radiator. As of the AC Condenser it doesn't have to be removed and don't try to do it yourself as it's not safe.

The A/C compressor can unbolt fairly easily but as said the fluid tubes should stay connected. There is a bit of slack so the condensor can be dropped down or moved to the side while still connected , so no regassing involved.

You may need a small stand for the condensor to sit on while you work around it as the tubes are not long enough to drop the condensor fully to the floor.

Two 12mm bolts hold the oil feed pipe to the turbo. So long as you can undo these you should be fine.

Soak all bolts with penetrating oil a few times just to try to make the chance of an epic fail a bit less :D
Turbo bolts/nuts sometimes needs to be broken of to remove the turbo :(
