Diverter valve is a piece of p!ss to swap, just 3 hose clips, its worth checking the vaccum hose (little skinny one that comes out of the top) all the way along its length for any splits, they go brittle over time and crack quite easily.
Inlet pipe is a little trickier, ramps help because its so much easier with access from underneath.. you WILL need to remove your lower valance if you drive up ramps though. So that's a couple of torx screws behind the front of the wheel arch on each side, then it just pulls off with a bit of a tug.
There's only one allen head bolt holding the inlet pipe on, and thats on the turbo itself, the rest is just hose clips. It's quite a tight seal to the turbo though so it needs a bit of a wiggle to pull it off.
If it's a silicone pipe you're replacing it with (like i have on mine, make sure you buy the correct one for your engine code) then again its just hose clips to fit it, the allen bolt is no longer used so you need a big clip to go over the pipe to secure it to the turbo inlet flange. If you've bought an alloy one like the Neuspeed part, then just re-use the allen bolt to attach it.
One last tip.. before you fix the pipe to the turbo (which is the most fiddly bit of the job.. scraped knuckles time) attach the little hose to the bottom of the new pipe, saves a lot of hassle trying to get it on once it's in place.
All in all.. 10 minutes max. to fit the diverter, and give yourself an hour minimum for the TIP (turbo inlet pipe)
toph.
