Message It sounds like you have plenty of aftermarket components: ss lines, dp's, chucked boost solenoids, etc......so it shouldn't be as hard as you think.

Dropping the steering shaft is easy, leaving the only real tuff part the 4 turbo flange nuts. If you were smart enough to put on self locking nuts, 3 are no big deal and the last one requires a some kind of flex socket.

If all went well, as I have done, you could have it in your hand in less 90 min.....about the time you'd have your wiring harness disconnected and coolant drained on an engine pull. Even if you pull your engine....all that turbo hardware still needs to come off, but you skip everything else in the process.

Just trying to help the bad news not be any worse that it needs to be.
