Honestly it's like swapping any other part. Pretty simple if the one you're installing is meant to be drop in, whether oem or aftermarket.

What other components? I can swap most single turbo stuff in under an hour pending no ridiculous rust issues. Soaking any and all hardware with penetrating lube on the hot side before working on it while hot helps a ton.

Power will not be found without more fuel. Lower egts will get a trade off....less response. Better response will result in higher egts at wot.
