crystallogrphy,

If you did everything correctly, you should be able to directly calculate the difference map in Coot from the MTZ file generated by PHENIX. You would need to open it with "Open MTZ" rather than "Auto open MTZ" and then select the appropriate map coefficients. Note that what Tim described (a real space difference map) is technically different from the traditional isomorphous difference map where the SF amplitudes of the two data sets are subtracted prior to the map calculation.

Dear crystallogrphy,

you can open the PDB file with Coot, then use File -> Open MTZ to read one
mtz-file after the other into Coot. Coot will offer to generate the map
coefficients from the previously loaded PDB file.

Once you have both maps, you can go to Extensions -> Maps -> Make a Difference
Map to create the difference map.

In order to see both positive and negative density, you choose Extensions ->
Maps -> Set Map is a Difference Map.

Regards,
Tim
