The way out is through

Um... removing the turbo is a 2-3 hour job, spills oil and coolant everywhere, and is generally a massive PITA.

Moving the swaybar out of the way of the engine bolts is 8 bolts (four for the jacking plate, two for each swaybar mount. No need to even loosen the endlinks.). Or you can just get a 14mm swivel socket and not move the swaybar at all (I have the same swaybar, and haven't had to remove it the last two times I took my motor out).

Either way, your nuts if you pull the turbo to get at the UP.
