good luck, i must say that a 45 degree bent 10 + 12mm socket(i mean ring spanner) will be super handy as some of the toyota factory bolts are a c*^t to take off.... look out for old brittle oil drain lines, heaps of wd40 on bolt pripor to removal, and do not over tighten bolts as they may have a tendancy to snap as i once found out (when fitting dumps)

Great time for you to post this question Michael as in a month I will be doing the same. Is there anything else that can be done to these turbos prior to install ie: porting or are these best left alone?

cleaning/ porting both the factory intake tube connector (the joining part) and the outlet joining pipe has been proven in the past to help clear things up (i remember a forum member on here posted this), heres an example:
if you still have the factory Air bypass valve, consider wheter you want to keep it, or if pushing over 15psi, maybe a bolt on GFB unit may assist....although i dont know much, thats my 2 cents worth Remember if going GFB Mach 1, they are only rated @ 250rwkw (the GFB dude told me)
