Twin turbo swap out.....difficult for a newbie?

It's pretty straight forward, not special tools are needed. Remove the intake/IC piping, remove the DP, coolant and oil feed and return lines, vac. hoses to the PC and WG actuators, 6-7 bolts that hold the turbo assembly on the exhaust manifold, then you just need to swap the acuators from one set of turbos to the other unless it came with some and reassemble.

Probably won't need new gaskets either, they are thick metal, I always just resuse mine and I've never had a problem.
