questions about replacing turbos.

Hi guys.
I have 93, 7. Its got 108,000 miles on it. I have changed the motor, so the motor has about 40,000 miles on it, but the twin turbos are still the stock one.
I got the rebuilt turbo, but the problem is installation costs money too ($1,000). Now I deceided to install it myself. There must be some body who have done it.

1. Is it difficult to take the turbos out of the car?
2. Is there any cautions?

any advice can help me
thank you in asvance.

That's like paying someone 300 bucks to replace your spark plugs

Just take your time. YOU CAN DO IT!!.
