I can supply a 3 ply metal gasket if you need one mate (WRC one's are only 4 ply and cost a fortune) just stripped my 3door down very similar to yours.Take all your boost pipes off and any waterpipes to the head,take airbox off and unplug all your electrics be carefull not to snap any of them as they tend to be brittle with age,also take your throttle body off and unplug fuel injectors,cam belt cover off then rocker cover (mine was so tight i nearly snapped the bolts off)I took the boost pipes off the turbo and took it off with the head and then take the turbo off seperate just personal preferance but needs 2 of you to lift safely.Undo the head bolts anti-clockwise does'nt really matter which order,also on the fuel rail side you'll have to do a bit of disconnecting just use your common sense and disconnect the pipes which are going to stop the haed coming off,try not to be to rough with stuff as this always leads to extra money being blown!!! Like i said if you need the gasket give us a shout as i've got 2 and will only be using 1 and there a top gasket put them on and just forget about it run pretty much what BHP you want with them which is why i'm doing mine.
