RE: DIY - how to replace a turbo
My turbo is gone and and I need to replace it and I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else if possible. I figure I may as well put a better than stock one in while I'm at it. I don't know much about it though as I'm just getting into this. I'm considering a K04 kit, but I don't really know. Mostly I'm just trying to figure out if it's even something I can do myself. Is it very difficult to do?

RE: DIY - how to replace a turbo
I'm not super inclined but I enjoy it. I restored an old T-Bird in highschool so I know some basics. I have a decent amount of tools, and access to my fathers collection - but mostly your basic stuff. Would I need anything specialized? I can buy stuff but idealy I'd prefer to come out cheaper than If I had the shop work on it.

It shouldnt be hard...I ve removed a turbo from my mr2 a bunch of times and i dare say theres less room to work in that
