Everything is straight forward, if you don't have the j-pipe you will need it. The lines (oil/water) can be bent to fit, I personally recommend the install kit as it will make everything that much easier. Good Luck.

You don't "have" to remove the radiator, but it makes life easier, and will reduce the chances of you damaging it. You can put cardboard over it, but still, the amount of room to work stinks. You really may want to buy the install kit. If you start re-using gaskets, you're asking for a problem. At the very least, the turbo outlet pipe is needed (j-pipe). You could bend the metal oil lines/coolant lines..but why take the chance? Here's an install kit for $139.
