Always disconnect the negative battery terminal.

yea, also make sure you clamp your coolant lines or plan on like a gallon of coolant draining out. Other than that, you should be all set, make sure you soak the bolts too, it helps...

And make sure you get the oil drain hooked up correctly when you put the turbo back on or you will end up with a lot of oil on the ground when you start the car.
