Easy to do?

[ContraAl]

It's three bolts.. But they are in an akward location.

ContraAl,

Any installation tips for us folks waiting on delivery (tomorrow, according to UPS)? I've heard that one bolt in particular can be a real pain.

Also, how long did it take you to install?

[ContraAl]

I did mine on my srt-4.. There is an oil cooler line that make the bolt nearest to the passenger side hard to get to..

Tips:

-90 degree angle driver or flexable socket extention will help.
-when reinstalling. start with the bolt closest to the passanger side. Hand tighten and then swing the assembly into place.
-the hole in the plate mates with the rubber side. You'll see.
-depending on what tools you have it could take only 15 minutes. (substantially more if you drop a bolt)

My install took 45 mins without the right tools.

Forgive my ignorance, I've only had a turbo for 2 weeks, but...
What does a BOV do? Why would I want one?

[ContraAl]

You have a blow off valve. With the plate the valve vents into the atmosphere which makes a PSSSssstt noise.

Why would you want one?? Hmmm, I donno... I guess it's just the same as putting neons, flames, wheels, exhaust, or most other mods on your ride. Basically for me, I just wanted one to annoy people..

ContraAl,

Thanks for the advice. The passenger side bolt is a true PITA. I had the Mrs. reach through and use a ratcheting wrench to get it from behind / below. If I had spent more time thinking beforehand I would've put it up on ramps on gotten to the bolt from below.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, I've posted scans of the instructions here.

IMO, steps 10 & 11 are in the reverse order.
