depends on what piping you got. I orderd piping and sleves as a U do it kit allready bent up. I mounted the intercooler in the front. Had to move stuff thats in there thow to other areas and weld it in place. I meshured sections from the intercooler to where I needed to go pice by pice. And then the same to the other inlet from the IC. I then took a pipe bender my neighbor has and shrunk the end of the piping to fir into the inlets of the TB, MAF, TURBO, and mounted them in. To mount my FMIC I took some angle iron and meshured and cut it I then use plastic washers and I cant remember what its calld but plumbers use it. It stops porse metals of difference from corroding. I coted the bolt in this and use palstic washers this will prevent oxidation of the metals. And your done take you about 4 hours

the newer one? the newer one does not requring turning the compressor housing. The instructions should be pretty clear. It does involve some cutting and removing the front bumper.
