Default FITTING INFO VF34

Hi, the only things i have fitted myself are brake disk & pads, balljoints, how easy would it be for myself to fit a Vf34.
Will get mapped as soon as jobs done.

only fiddley job is getting oil drain pipe back on at bottom of turbo. the clip that holds it on is week so can push it back in if someone is unerneath car with screwdriver stopping pipe from being pushed downwards as youu push turbo on to it and appart from siezed bolts (i had 1 stripped, i dint spray them) but you can spary and good soak wi wd40 night befor and shold come off way easier, best fit new up pipe to turbo gasket too as i dint and it leaked so all came off again...o and my oil and banjo pipe just needed a slight carefull tweek of a bend to get it lined up wi it being a bigger turbo..........if its got standard air intake pipe, be carefull not to split it when fitting t-unit as there very thin rubber will split wi ease and can be a bit fiddley too

Sounds ok to do, subaru place @ sheffield wants £120 plus V.A.T

Down pipe as been done about 2 months ago, so should be ok with the bolts.

If i do slit things is there any tools and new parts that i can get befor hand to help if any thing does go wrong.

Cheers for the help sn fans

mine is still split right were it connects to turbo but just bunged it up for now been that wat for 7 months, cos you have to remove inlet manifold to renew it unless you pay through odds and get a samco one and they say you can shread the old one out and squash the samco one through but my engine iscoming out soon for rebuild so i will do it then

might be stating the obvious hear but when riving and pulling on the bolts dont lean agaist the wing to do it like i did and put small dent into it
