Very simple job that any DIYer can do. It actually takes longer to put the car on jack stands than the actual draining and filling of the fluids. I've done the ptu twice on my mks so far and the last time it took me 15 minutes once the car was up in the air. The rdu takes about 10 minutes to do and most of that is pumping the new oil in the differential. Is there a how to somewhere I could look at?Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using TapatalkPTU. I think i remember reading that the procedure is slightly different with PP sho's and that you may have to drop the down pipe, but not 100% sure on that. You'll need someone else to confirm that though. http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3360.0/topicseen.htmlRDUhttp://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,1708.msg21702.html#msg21702Pmezo is correct,you will actually have to remove the passenger side DP in order to gain full access to the plug/sensor on the PP SHO.

You don't need to do that with the non pp cars.

I've never done it on a PP car, but I'm guessing you can't get to the ptu fill plug without removing the downpipe.
