Rebuilding a GM8 turbo,show and tell

I realize this is an old post. I'm looking at doing a refresh on my gm4 turbo from a 1995 k2500. I've had a good look at Bison's old post on how to rebuild a gm8 turbo which should be the same has a gm4 turbo. My question is can I leave the snail house on the manifold and simply remove the housing from the snail house?
thanks
 
I just opened my turbo. In order to get divide the end part that goes down to the downpipe, I had to had a friend of mine weld on new nuts on the bolts to be able to open it up.

The air side snail house was much easier to open, but disconnecting it from the air intake was the easiest part of removing the turbo in my opinion If I were you, I would get the entire thing in on my work bench! :)
