it seems that the lines are going to the back of the engine…

how does it mount? can I just pull (yank it ) out?

oh man, CA turbo lines are hell on earth. The line on the back is bolted on in like two spots (10mm bolts), and it goes from like, hard line to rubber line to hard line and back to rubber. You’ve got to feel around with your hand following the line.

Make sure you replace the rubber line once it’s out, it’s prone to cracking.
