You want the left side turbo. Right side is the one by passenger wheel.
Gearhead E30 tune, Gearhead intercooler, LMS firestorm hpfp, catted downpipes, corsa catback, 160 degree thermostat, 3 bar map, upgraded AD trans mounts, MSD coils, Nitto 555R drag tires on front, AR924 wheels and BFG sport comp 2 summer tires on rear, and an EPP intake.

which turbo you are replacing will determine how much labor it will take. one takes 2 hrs, the other 6.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The left side. I can hear the turbo bearings rattling around when i start the car, of course dumping white smoke like crazy as well. Any tips/other parts to buy on the replacement you can think of? I

If you are going to do one. Do both. Its more labor and money but worth it for peace of mind.
