I am sure it will go on w/o a flaw. I did mine with know clue of what I was doing. In the end w/ a little help (no plug this time, it is getting to cheesy) it all is working out great. At six pound of boost on the way home I had about 4 kills
. cant complain at all.

Besides that get your piping tight the first time. Get it tight and then tighten some more. Mine blew off about three times. That is about another hour worth of jacking up the car and trying to get your hand and tools in a tight fit. To re do something simple is a waiste of time.
Stay away from elctr boost controlers. I found out today that everyone who has blown an engine on 7thgen has had one. i pulled mine off this morning.
Run methanol dont waiste your time and money like I did on buying 91% alch. I found out that you can get it from paint supply shops cheap by the gallon.
Wire up a air/fuel gauge and boost gauge in advance before your install date. that will save another 30-60 mins(depending on how good you are).
Gut out your front bumper a head of time. Cut out all the plastic that turns inside the bumper(the intercooler and piping is a close fit. also you could hammer in the spot of the support beam that the piping wraps around. that is worth at least 30 min.
I guess you could spend a little bit of time once every couple of days and the day of your install it will go easier.
Hope this helps. Anyone else have ideas?

most people blow **** up bc they dont know what the **** they are doing
it has nothing to do with the fact that one has an electronic boost controller
