Replacing stock turbo. what is needed?

I have blown the turbo on my car and am wondering what is needed when replacing the turbo with the new one that i just aquired..

Will i need to change gaskets? I'm assuming if they are in rough shape they should be replaced, but any tips before i get into this would be appreciated.

Yes you should most likely change the manifold gasket even the manifold to turbo one should be changed as well while your at it,I reused the oil outlet and return gaskets because they were still in great shape use plunty of penetrating oil on all bolts, also if you are doing this by your self taking the turbo out and putting it back are easier from the top of the car, just take off all the intercooler tubes emission stuff,air control valve,smog pump, and you should be fine
