What is your mechanical ability? If you are unsure then your best bet would be to find someone capable, especially if you have a deadline!

Well then I would say you are likely qualified. Just get your parts ordered ASAP and come on here with questions. Should be good to go.

The back bolt on the turbo can be a bitch so start spraying it now. Rig up some padding over the radiator to lean on. You will need some steps so you can reach. There are some great instructions in the forum.

I use heavy painters tarp to lean on when im under the hood. The swiveling gear wrench (10mm?)for that back bolt is a life saver.

How can you even spray the back bolts, can't see or barely reach it. Agree with Curts05, ratcheting wrench is a life saver combined with a steel bar.
