The removal for the most part is straight forward, removing the wheel liners opens them up for removal, then its just two bolts for the DP's (easy) getting the I/C pipes out of the way (med) unbolting the accessible water lines (easy with the Straw Hat Coolant Line Wrench included with every purchase, lol ) loosening the three mani bolts (very easy) and loosening the rear coolant line (major b!^ch). At that point your turbo should be free after finishing removing the manifold bolts. Now, you deserve ONE celebratory drink, remember you still have another to pull so don't get carried away....
Also, being a small guy I didn't have to remove my starter, but that also may be a slight difference between the 11-12's and 13's

I think Mike is dead on with this guys, a larger, more efficient turbo is flowing a higher CFM at an = <psi than a smaller turbo. This should equate to lower temps and less cylinder pressure doing two things one making detonation less likely from heat while creating more power with less stress on the motor...at least from my simpleton understanding of FI

Now if you guys could just master the 2wd launch you'd post some killer times with those traps. 
Practice, practice, practice. I'm glad I can just throw it into 4wd and brake boost the
outta it to get good times....now wait and watch me eat my words ha

I like your set of blowers.

Don't forget to pull both fuel pump fuses to circulate some oil through the system first, don't want to start those turbos dry and cook the bearings. There will still be some fuel left in the system, so make sure you are ready to shut it down if it tries to start, mine wanted to start a few times before I could just let it turn over. 30 seconds should be enough time to get some oil pressure through the system. Call me if you have any questions.

ive never broke in turbos with a different tune, I prime and go baby prime and go, well I let them idle for 10minutes checking for leaks per garrett sticker. Also before installing it is a good idea to put some oil in oil feed port and hand spin the blades a few times. Then about 3 miles down the road when i hit the highway i go nuts in it switching to high boost.

Working on your tune, will send you a couple of versions...one to break-in the turbos and one to have some fun with...
