No the install wasnt bad, but make sure you order 2 things for sure. One are new studs for the turbo and 2 is a new o ring for the oil return line, your might be good but since your swapping out the turbo def. change that. Its only a few bucks but give your self some time to get it. it took maybe 2 weeks for me to get one. But make sure you have some PB blaster too. Also i know i used some brake line for the oil lines to extend them to the turbo instead of trying to stretch them. For some reason mine just would get into place, and if the turbo doesnt come with new gaskets make sure you have them too. Final thing lol, your going to have clock the turbo.

WOW!!!! what can I say about the SPEED!! That has got to be the cleanest Mazdaspeed I have ever seen. That engine bay is so fresh and so clean clean. You have a lot of blood and sweat into that car and oh ain't it grand to say loud and proud, "Home made not mommy paid!!!"
