Shouldn't be that hard. What headers? If LTH I believe it's hard to get to some of the bolts but it takes time and a cool head. Which I do not have. Good thing for myself is I own a lift. Best investment ever about eight years ago.

My plans are after we find out a release date I'm going to start removal of headers, TP's, oil pan, radiator core (gives a lot of room to work), throttle bodies, intake manifold, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and whatever else I know about turbo installation. Maybe directions will be given before receiving the kit. Then once received I'm going to thermal coat the intercoolers and powder coat the other piping. Main thing about FI kits is making sure all parts that have threads are tight and thread sealant was used. Heat wrap anything close to the turbos reguardless of the directions. Then all silicone couplings are secure. Ill never forget the time I had one pop off under boost. Lol. Once the turbo manifolds/ turbos are on its a breeze. I don't have AC no more so there is a lot of room on the driver side.

The most important:

MaxJax Portable Two Post Lift - Dannmar Equipment

Buying a 2-post lift was the most useful "tool" purchase I've ever made. If you have enough ceiling height, go for a Rotary 2-post asymmetric.

It'll make this install SOOO much easier!
