Default some TTiX maint work

I've got a couple of fall projects and could use some advice

I need to replace the AC lines. looks like the best way to do this is to take off the pass side turbo, how hard is that to do, any tips?

I want to add a wideband gauge (dynotech) any tips on the best place to install the bung for the o2. thinking just downstream of the turbo on the drivers side (nearest cyl 7) looks like there may be a place in the turbo downpipe already, but it might be too far back (I'll take some pics)

finally, my pass side turbo looks like its right up against the engine cradle. I didn't install the TTiX kit but it looks like it neads to be clelaranced. is same thing needed on the drivers side? what would be the best tool to grind this down. pass side turbo looks like it's leaking a bit of oil from the center housing. the seal could be going bad

if anyone has a link to the ttix install instructions, please let me know. like to download them

not much of a mechanic so I'm not sure I want to tackle this project. anyone in the Northern VA area that you would recommend?

thanks!

1. The A/C lines can be replaced by just removing the tire and inlet duct and working from the fender well.
2. A wideband bung is all ready welded in for you in the passenger downpipe.
3. You can unbolt the motor from the cradle and jack it up to properly clearance the cradle/turbo as per the instruction.But its usually easier to get a large washer and slot it and slide it under the motor mount after the fact .
