Are both of these mods direct boltons? or will they need special modification to make them work? Cant any regular mechanic. perform the task..?
By regular i mean like dealership non- performance trained.. mechanic..

It is basically direct bolt on. But i can't repeat this enough, please use the search function and also if you look at bananags's website, he has DIY for the LSD. Cars are pretty straightforward things to mess around with unless you get into engine stuff. Also, maybe getting a repair manual might be a good choice.

Hmmm.. it depends on which LSD you're talking about.
The RMM / Supra TT LSD (full pumpkin replacement) is MUCH more of a bolt on than the TRD LSD, which is a tricky operation.

dave is correct, it depends on what lsd you getting. if you get the supra/rmm lsd, it's the whole thing and it's bolt on, not that hard. but if it's the trd lsd, you need a VERY good mechanic to do it otherwise you will damage something one way or the other. repeat, you need a VERY good mechanic
the tc is also bolt on, but it involves taking the tranny apart, not THAT easy

If your not sure, spend the extra money for the peace of mind that it's being installed by the best...you don't want to end up spending way more money then you imagined because someone screwed up your tranny...at least with the good shops, they will warranty their work and back it up...

I kinda figured that's what you meant but just wanted to clarify...
I'm going to have Todd @ TM Engineering do the TC swap for me (hopefully next month) and his ground upgrade kit at the same time.
