Default Can I fit the new turbo?

I've bought an IHI V34 to replace my failing TD04 on an MY00. I used to be a mechanic in my younger days so I'm not too shabby with a set of spanners. I know I will need a remap but can I fit the turbo myself or am I not able to start the car after until it's mapped? Just thought I might try and save some pennies!!

As above, car will be fine providing you drive it off boost.

I'd install it just before you get it mapped.

Thanks for the help. Anything to look out for when fitting it? Is it difficult?
