To get to #1 I remove the 930 BOV. If you have a 965 BOV this is cake.

thats what i use except mine is not spring loaded.
i recently welded it all together since the socket would sometimes come off when piutting plugs back in unless i put the plug on the edge of the socket.
i dont know what your configuration is but when i did a leak down test, i loosened the turbo inlet tube at the turbo so i could move it just enough to make it easier to get to #1.
very dumb question, i do hope you are taking the IC off.
i changed plugs on a friends older toyota min van. the engine is under the car and lays on its side. very neat, low center of gravity. but to get on e of the plugs out. you have to drop one end of the motor down. it is OOOH so close to coming out, but just not quite.
