Turbo removal from 09 35D

[Want2race]

Guess i can't change the title...

I am new here but I apologize for posting a question as a first post.

I did search but haven't seen much of what I'm trying to find.

My sisters X5 is sitting on my lift. We had the dpf coded out and now I'm trying to remove the dpf. I've lowered the subframe 3". My next thought is to remove the engine mounts and try drop the subframe out completely. I have a bar holding the engine up above. Should I remove the bracket that attaches the mount to the engine as well? Do I need to do both sides?

The heat sheild on the top turbo seems to have more bolts than I can see. I got the main one that's near the top and one that's a good but lower. There is a bunch of solenoids that I am also trying to pull away from the head but having a hard time.

Are there any good posts to reference? I'm hoping to make a video on how to do this but first I need to get the job done so I'm not simply a fool in bolting things.

I appreciate any help I can get
