I just did my DP (TurboXS TB). You need to remove the TMIC to remove the turbo heatsheild, then the rest is pretty easy after removing the heatsheild. Putting the IC back on wasn't so easy. Overall, it takes about 3 hours to do the complete job. After putting the TB exhaust in, the power is amazing and and sound is cool.

Only other thing, is I got that CEL after 2 days since I am fully catless.
