I am trying to separate the turbo along with the twi exhaust pipes that attach to the side. I removed all the hoses, bolts on the exhaust, 3 bolts on front of the engine, and any oil or coolant hoses. How is this supposed to drop? Is the turbo bolted to the engine from the bottom as well?

This should show all the bolts and connectors. These are from Subaru service information. Looks like there are a couple braces and lines to deal with. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
