Take the cover off the turbo.... Using a small punch and a hammer... knock those 3 locator pins in till it clears the inner lip of the housing...it usually falls right out.... but you know how that goes. It might take some prying or tapping with a hammer and punch from the backside.

yes but it will have to be returned to FI to be machined to fit the new housing.

Does FI only machine the compressor housing when building an S484?

I tried taking the roll pins out of my housing today to remove the inlet bell. Couldn't get them to budge. I don't think I have the right tools to do it. I just keep boogering up the bore the bore the pin sits in and if I use a small punch, it just expands the roll pin out toward the bore and won't move. SMH


Edit: Got it done. I used an 1/8" carbide bit and drilled the pins out. Popped the inlet bell out and now I sound like a jet engine.
