The instructions that come with the kit will be plenty good enough.

Read over it a few times to familiarize yourself with the procedure, and you will be fine.

Get a couple of cans of carb cleaner and be very careful with the EGR gasket; make sure you don't bend it or anything. Otherwise you could get a leak and get a code. Get a scraper from the parts store to clean off the gaskets on the throttle body; that will be a pain in the ass without one.
