Ouch.  I'll try not to do *that.*

About six hours, no cutting, gotta move the PS cooler (I take it that
this is not that big of a job?)

That about right?  Is that from fully-assembled to fully-assembled, or
is that from "bumper cover off" to "ready to put the bumper cover back
on"?  It only makes a difference in that it sounds like a job that
could be undertaken in a set of days after the kids get put to bed -
after all, it's not like all the boost will leak out if you leave the
system open overnight...

Some pipes, some elbows, some CT clamps - sounds like fun.  Sorta like
a bolt-on.  Do people remove the stock IC?  Or just leave it?  Got any
oinstallation pictures of your D.I.C.K.?  Sorry, I couldn't resist a
little Brokeback UrS commentary.  I'll stop now.
