About  six hours, no cutting, gotta move the PS cooler (I take it that
this is not  that big of a job?)
 
OK... you're confabulating the best of both installs.  I cut the  bumper, 
they didn't.  I did not move the PS cooler, they did.  So the  method you saw 
pics of is different than what I did.  Also, I seperated the  bumper skin from 
the aluminum bumper, and I don't think they did on  theirs.
 

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...
 
OK... It's clear that "witnesses" (Pizzo) seem to think it is fairly  
involved, and it did take them some significant time.  OTOH, I started  mine at lunch 
time one Saturday, and then I drove it out to dinner that  night.  So there 
is a large variance.
 
Bottom line... it isn't a technically elaborate job... cutting, fitting,  and 
fabing some brackets.
 

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?
 
It must be removed, because you'll need the space for your plumbing... from  
IC to TB hose.  I thought it was fun, but I'm not normal.
 

Got any  installation pictures of your D.I.C.K.?
 
Sorry, I never kiss and tell.
