Um pretty straight forward, unbolt the manifold from engine, unbolt the exhaust in the front, and put the new gasket in.

Edit: Oh TII...

Pull the turbo. The studs are in the motor, so you have to pull the mani back far enouph to get the gasket over the studs. So you'd have to disconnect the water/oil lines to the turbo, downpipe, and the manifold itself. It'd be a bit of work but nothing too bad.

Might as well change the oil and coolant inlet and outlet gaskets while your in that area. Better safe than sorry later down the road.

There is a detailed procedure in both the Haynes manual and the factory service manual.
