Well I tried calling my dad for hours but he and my mom were camping. I finally got a hold of them this morning. I hated to ask him to drive all the way to get us, but I have to work tomorrow morning and couldn't wait for a rental car company to open tomorrow morning.

If you're talking about the two bolts that hold the turbo down, they should come with the install kit. In my experience they came out easy too.

I meant all the 12 point bolts to take the turbo apart.

I thought you meant just removing everything.
Those were a B*tch on mine. I soaked the bolts in PB blaster and let it soak in the sun, and then would occasionally re-apply. But I don't think it would have been as difficult if I had a bench vice or some other means of holding the turbo.

What all would I need to mod it in the parking lot? Isn't it pretty much just tapping and plugging the hole? Would ordering a high flow outlet be worthwhile?

I found another similar deal on ebay from Ron's Turbo Service in Salt Lake City. I may give them a call tomorrow and ask them where they get their pedestals from. Some look like a straight blank, and some look modified with the plugs. I'd rather just do it now instead of taking this apart again to do it later unless I have to.

I just went down that road myself, although i did mine at home and not a parking lot. Check it out here, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...gine-****.html
I did this two weeks ago, after two weeks of daily driving and just completing a 400 mile tow this past weekend, the upgraded wheel is definitely worth the price of admission. I have the ww2 and not the RR billet, but similar peformance from what i hear. Also get an upgraded waste gate controller if you decide to go back with it, thats a good add on as well, if not, then just delete it. Rebuild kits come with two new bolts for the turbo hold down and 4 new bolts for the center cartridge to turbine housing (the one i had the trouble with). Not that bad of a job, granted all the bolts come loose within reason.
