On Monday I went home for lunch and pulled the ECU and shipped it. On Wednesday at lunch I installed the newly flashed ECU and wastgate hose. Total down time was only 48 hrs! Pretty impressive turn around time! The hose install takes longer than you would imagine. There must be 50 plastic screws on the splash gaurds and access to the hose end points is pretty tight.
I haven't driven it much but I can definately feel the difference.

 

So, you went from underneath for the hose, eh? I didn't have that option since we didn't have a jack or any ramps - we had to go from the top!

 

Haha. I went from underneath to after first trying to tackle the top. I got all the plastic screws back in except for one. I have no idea where it came from.

 

The top is really ez. Just pope of the radiator fan. Takes 20 mins. Its 2 bolts and one connector and you can easily get to the hoses.

 

You must have some skinny arms, I had to do mine from the top and barely had room to work with. I'm a little sliced and diced but it wasn't that bad, just a little time consuming. 20 minutes is damn good, took me about an hour with some help from a friend.

 

After doing it about ten times, I can do it in ten minutes from the top. It's all in the angle of the hose clamps.
