Changing the downpipe was straight forward and easy to get to.

But seeing where the charge pipe is located, it looked like way more job to change. Any good hints, do's and don'ts?? I have the kit with the main hard tube and only one soft tube, not the kit with two soft tubes.
If you've done your own downpipe and intercooler, then you'll be fine doing cp for sure.

You will need to drop out the intercooler so that you can get the oem cp out. It's fairly straight forward -just a bit fiddly at times. Take off the metal plate under the engine to give you more options to get your hands in.
