Since I wasn't there for the install, I really can't comment on how difficult it was. I've never installed a turbo kit and I don't plan to start now; I'll let GTM handle my install. I know that GTM has posted a copy of the install instructions for their Garrett kit earlier on (either in this thread or the group buy thread). Even though it is for one of their earlier kits, it should give you a rough idea of what is entailed for a turbo install. Just bear in mind that unlike the Garrett kit, the MHI kit doesn't require drilling/tapping into the engine block since it provides a pre-tapped oil pan spacer.

As far as what I saw, once the car has been put back together post-install, many of the kit's components are hidden from view. All you really see are portions of the piping. If you opted for the black powdercoated piping, this would be a pretty stealthy install. To get an idea of where some of the components are mounted, check out the pictures that GTM posted at the beginning of both this thread and the "TD05 16g test results" thread.
