Special torx socket...

Try to get 1/2" drive if you can. I got 3/8" drive and I was scared I would break it when applying the torque.
Also be sure to get turbo seal kit. This includes both turbo gaskets and the o-ring that goes into the block.
If you're using a 2.1 intake manifold, be sure to pick up a 2.1 intake gasket.
You may want to pick up extra hose clamps in various sizes. You may break or want to replace some while you are in there.
Other things I did while the head was off was sand and paint the metal coolant lines. 1 goes to the turbo, and the other to the head.
These were both corroded and I painted them black.
