Good mother of God, I came home from work today and expected to just throw the Duel CAI on (since I do this for a living) and 4 hours later I just finished things up (and I still need to make some fitness adjustments tomorrow or the weekend). As a lifetime practice I never put lube on hoses, usually a spritz of carb cleaner or some soap water. That rear turbo is the kiss of death-after well over an hour of fighting with it, I broke down and put a light coat of trans jell on the hose and it slid right on and I re-used the factory worm gear clamp. For better or worse, it's just a test fit until the hot pipes come in and they all go off to the local powder coating company.
Some things I noticed, some have been noted already is the IAT sensor needs some tweeking. I need to re-check my work, but my enclosure needs to be trimmed and some adjustments made, seems to crowd some wiring and the trans connector a bit and mine in general needs to be moved a bit more to the right (the front left area looks kind of funky). All this is subjective to spending some more time for final fitting, but it's not a completely plug and play experience. I've been a new car Tech for over 30 years, so I guess I'm kind of spoiled by the way the factory does things in terms of stops and reference marks, then again, when it comes to hobbies it seems like everything I touch needs to be modified in one way or another ( ;
Great, I look forward to the same issues.....

Rant: Gen2? Shouldn't that be an improved design?
