Is there anything needed to swap these out or is it direct bolt on? will it mess with my tune?

You realize that you can just swap the turbine housings between the two turbos, right? Unless your existing turbo is bad then you´d need to swap complete turbos. The two turbos are identical except for the turbine housings being different.

But, to answer your question...no, you wouldn´t need to change any additional hardware or bits if you should decide to swap the complete turbos.
