Expect 2 days eat least. I'm currently a ASE master tech and I had a lift and all my tools at my shop and it still took me about a day and a half. Getting the turbo between the firewall and the valve cover was a serious PITA. And running the PnP harness was even worse. Also do not forget to wrap up your harness and brake lines and the fuel line where the turbo sits. They will melt fatsr than you can say boost.
It's pretty straight forward though. it's the little stuff that makes it take a while. Like wrapping the harnesses and wiring in the guages and stuff.
Another tip is with the bottom manifold studs that GREddy tells you to put in. I would just reuse the factory bolts wherever possible. The nuts that GReddy supplies kept loosening up on me and just falling off. I had to double nut all the bottom nuts on mt exhaust manifold. I also used some loctite after vthey fell off the second time. The top ones stay on fine because theyare the stock nuts with the teeth on the bottom of the nut. If you can get 3 of the stock style intake manifold nuts from Honda use those. it will save you the headache of an exhaust leak from the manifold. And not knowing where it's coming from because you figure it can't be the manifold because you tourqued it to specs, twice!!! Good luck and if you have any questions just PM me. And have fun bro....
