As MR_VX said, it is an easy job. I've also done it myself and it comes with instructions.

it was a while ago since i done mine but i only thing i remember moving arond was the coil packs. nothing hard tho.the instructions a a set by set guide. it took me a few hours i spose only because i was fitting the intercooler as well. I thought it was worth my money i spent.

ive heard from a few sources that have tried and tested the raptor charged kits on ecotecs that the HP/KW dosent match up with the 'feel' of the same sort of power ie. l67's YT kits

Well there's obviously reasons for that probably because kw/horsepower isnt real and dont mean ****

That's because you have to rev the crap out of the raptor to get it to make a decent amount of boost where as the eaton makes pretty much constant boost. So on a dyno they both might make similar peak power but on the street the positive displacement supercharger will be making more power than the raptor lower in the rev range. However the raptor should be cheaper on fuel while still offering performance.

Eaton valley mount is a completely different setup to a centrifugal side mount. Of course it's going to make pressure differently
