Default turbo install

Ok, so im finally installing my turbo and started by doing the 2mm greddy headgasket swap. I pulled everything so far but the head bolts because i need that special bi-hexagon socket so i can take the bolts out. I ordered this today and will have it in the morning. Then the head is coming out, getting decked, vacuum cleaned, and a possible valve job. Then im putting everything back together with the turbo

I set the manifold and turbo on just to see what it was going to look like, its sagging a little because there are no nuts on any of the studs, its just placed on there.
