"hard" is a reletive term, to some people and oil cahnge is "hard"

if you're swapped many motors this is much the same just a little more tedious, it's sure not easy but even if you know wheat you're doing there are a lot of steps in the process and it's time consuming

and if you're turbo's are bad I'd upgrade the turbo's and maybe do the timing belt, no point replacing a known good engine with one in unknown condition

dealer, any mechanic with a "consult" you can buy a program and cable for a laptop called conZult, there si another one as well but I can't remember the name, and autozone can even read you're codes for free!
