Here are Pics of my TB change. I have never done a TB on any car and I had lots of help from this forum / the write-ups / and the most recent Bently's.
Here is the post with all my questions and answers for reference. I am only posting pics here.

I ordered the TB kit from DieselGeek, which shipped that very same day.
I ordered the TB tools from DieselGeek made by Metalnerd (including the new crank holder)
I ordered 2 1.5 liters of Pentosin coolant.
Used a Craftsman Torque Wrench-which did very well.
I built an engine safty holding device out of 2x4. See pics below.
The job took a while because I had meetings/work and stopped to photograph everything.
Please forgive the size of the pics.
Here is the wooden rig I built to use as a safety backup for holding the engine.
All the parts removed from the job. Missing is the turbo air duct.
The Metalnerd crankshaft holding tool
The slider pin goes into the slot in the engine block. The screws go onto the sprocket. Its aligned when the raised bump on the sprocket is in the bottom circle of the jig:
The Camshaft holding pin goes into the top. Both the Cam and Crank sliders should go easy. If its tight adjust the crank by a mm or 2. Its very very precise!
Drained the Old Coolant:
Fully stripped engine
The Water Pump hole:
Supported the engine with jack a 2x4 with cardboard. The tape measure helped me gage if the engine was sinking/jack leaking.. which it did. I used the car's jack next to it and it did better. Luckily I had the 2X4 Jig as a safety.
Old Coolant VS New. The Old looks more orange than the fresh pink: 80,000 miles.
Old Timing Belt VS New (80K)
Old Water Pump Vs New
Old Idler vs New
