Tommy, I'd say pull the exhaust manifold due to the lower turbo flange nuts being inaccessible.

Yes, the gaskets are reusable, as they're made of metal.

Plain Jane Stock (for now)

Reusable- yes. Should you- no. The gasket is like $6. Replace it. It's probably burned to a crisp. Don't reuse the turbo mount nuts either.  Pull the manifold with turbo attached. It's much easier. Just make sure you have someone helping you, that shit will take out your back faster than anything. I'm sure a few other people here can attest to that. If you don't have any help, use something to pull it. That's a good 40 lbs'ish, and you need to pull it with your arms fully extended. Unless you can crawl up over the top of it, use help.

I shot everything down with PB blaster the night before the pull, everything came out easy enough. Pulling it alone wasn't to bad, getting off the truck and down the ladder with a turbo and manifold was a bit exciting though lol... Cleaned off the PB before putting in the twins... Which I called in backup for the lifting portion... +1 on the new gaskets, cheap insurance over a re pull
