on this type of job. Surprises, alternator support bracket (need long extension and U-joint plus male hex socket (8mm??), then it's a snap. Don't forget alt. ground wire on re-assembly. Exhaust bolts were a surprise because they came right off, no drama. Hopefully it should be the same for a turbo. Local shop charged me 130 bucks for head milling and pressure tests, both water side and valves too. I replaced head bolts, another 60 bucks. You need the female torq socket for head bolt install.
Good luck,
John
