Mine comes in tomorrow. But it's going straight to the powdercoater place. But I would like to know the same thing. One thing I am worried about is taking off the bumper cover (without scratching it) and getting it to line back up when I'm done... I have bad luck with that kind of stuff.

Its fairly easy to do just takes a little time getting all the stock pipeing off and the front bumper is a little tricky when taking out the screws in the wheel well. but once thats off the intercooler fits pretty good just make sure you lay out the piping and lable the hoses so you use the right ones in the right place.

so are we talking like a two or three hour job? four? six?

I would say between 4-6 hours with a break or 2 in between

good 3 to 4 hrs on the first one!!u do. it is fairly simple though. hardest part is getting the bumper cover off the car. make sure to get some wd-40 for the pipe coupling. makes life alot easier!!! u have any questions or want pics pm me thanks jonathan
