I've had a new engine fitted into my 1999 JAP WRX, since found out it was from a UK 2000 and this was fitted complete with the UK Turbo... 
I still have the Jap VF29 Turbo & have previously been adavised to swap them back
Is this a do-it-yourself job, or am going to have to pay out even more to get it right???
It only looks like half a dozen bolts and a few jubilee clips...
... but I bet theres a cirtain order, & does it needs bleeding or priming with oil etc, etc...
Anyone know where I can get any instructions of how to do this?

I have no experience of the different turbos, but there are enough guys around who will know about that. It may look a simple job, and true it is not too complicated, but I'll warn you that the nuts and bolts which attach the downpipe and up-pipe to the turbo get very tight, maybe they wont be too bad with your recent engine change though. Try posting on the Technical forums.
