HELP Turbo swap

[DC5]

Skating on thin ice lately, noticable sound differance and feeling sorry for anyone behind me when the cloud of smoke would blanket them. Picked up a used turbo locally the other day and parts this morning off my guy at Biener Audi. Turbo kit, Timing belt kit, water pump & thermostat + a nice Audi bag. I guess if you spend enough you get the bag lol (actually he beats any price I see online!) The TB kit=$250 Water pump $82 core exchange $50=$32 Turbo Kit=$48 Thermostat Assy.=$64
I got home around 11am waited & waited for it to cool down, finally getting a fan on the engine. Totally floored when I took off the inslilation panel under the car...oil everywhere Just replaced the DV not long ago and it was dripping oil, want to see what that looks like when I get it off.
Have been going by the Stasis Engineering instructions, does anyone have a better DIY or tips? Some of the sizes are not right and some places you cant even fit a socket into. Rigged up a long nut to fit into the M12 for the Coolant line to the cylinder block, my rachets wouldn't fit. How do you torque that? Spent a hell of a lot of time and a little over half way done. PBing the crap out of the bolts overnight hoping it will make things easier.
I'm thinking of just pulling the bumper tomorrow since I'm doing the belt change next. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if you're going to find a better write up than that stasis one. I've used it before and it's accurate as long as you have the right tools.

For that M12, I literally dremeled mine in half in order to create enough clearance to get a socket on it and torque it down. Couldn't find and triple square sockets that were short enough.
