Just make sure you get the taped screwdriver toward the inner part of the exhaust turbine vanes, that is where the vanes are strongest. Remember when tightening the new wheel, snug is good enough, it self-tightens under normal operation, don't want to F-up that exhaust turbine trying to tighten the intake side too much. PM me if you have any specific questions, but it looks like you're all set!

I've done both. If I had to do it over again I would go with just the ATS housing. Replace it while the turbo is on the truck, eliminates the surge completely and it has a 4" inlet from the air box to the compressor.
