Different sized bolts everywhere; having to line up TDC via a hold in the transmission looking at the flywheel and somehow the cam pulley at the same time; wire looms with no connectors that cross the front of the engine, and get in the way; the bulkiest passenger side engine mount I have ever seen that is impossible to remove without every timing component off, and the engine on an extreme angle; access to any turbo related component requires mirrors and swearing; tons of fragile little clips and connectors that are more ridiculous than any vehicle I have ever worked on; everything is bolted to everything else.
It went back together much quicker than it came apart. Taking it apart was like a jigsaw puzzle. I'm sure if I was more familiar with the platform, I'd have wasted far less time trying to figure out what to do to get where I needed.
Edit: Those "valve reliefs" on the pistons aren't supposed to be there. Lol.
