on another note, I have a PFC and I believe the aws is disabled. I'm removing the AWS completely so I need to add a resistor to the plug? or since the PFC doesnt even respond to it its ok?

Status: DONE!!!!!!!!! installed Efini Y-pipe, eliminated: EGR, AWS, AWS Pipe, Double Throttle.
I finally feel the secondary turbo for the very first time!!!!!!! it sooooooooo kicks ***!!!
only issue im having now is a small coolant leak. It seems intermittent. Seems to start dripping when i turn on the heat. or just coincidence i'm not really sure.

I love a happy ending. 
I just did my hose job the same time as you.
I've now got some boost above 4500, too, but not quite full. I may need to adjust an actuator rod...
I also had a coolant leak (under the TB..didn't have the clamp on tight enuff).
Also painted black the UIM, TB, IC piping, Y-pipe, 2ndary inlet and strutbar ends.

Yes I also had a small leak under the tb. its easy to miss that since you're busy getting the actual tb on you forget about that damn hose on the bottom. luckily for me i now feel my secondary and gettin 11-9-11 boost pattern. better than 10-5-4 (no secondary) so its a whole new world for me. i thought it was fast when i first bought it, now... its really fast! fun!!
it took me like a month! but its not like i was working on it everyday. it did take me sometime since I was moving slow as a turbo and waiting for parts to come in. probably around 20hrs of work tho........ now who in the hell said this was a 4 hour job? LOL. I guess it could be possible because im MASTER SILICONE HOSE CHANGE GUY now! but 4hours doesnt include tear down and reassembly =oPP

Same for me. Since it was the first time for me removing all those pieces, I took my time inspecting and cleaning everything, as well as wrapping my head around the stock solenoid/actuator/valve systems.
The only system I removed was the Double Throttle. My DIY block off plate for the DTC was fashioned from an old plastic battery box, covering a nylon bolt in the shaft hole that was sealed with Form-A-Gasket.
