Anyone done this before? Is there enough room to get the turbos off of the head, and leave them hooked up to the downpipes so you can remove the head with the engine still in the car? Just wondering....

Yes, it's not a problem, you can just unbolt the manifolds and let them hang. Just be careful not to kink the oil drain lines.
