Can you tell me how you did it? And how you reinstall them.

NogaroGO!

I supposed you might but the tranny would have to come out which is no picnic either

The inlets? Yes but the radiator must be moved. Pass side is easy. Drivers is a little harder

you have to pull off the bumper, radiator, fan, fan belt, bi-pipe, swing out the A/C compressor, disconnect some misc pipes (coolant and maybe power steering), pipes inbetween the y-pipe and inlet, and unbolt the inlet from the manifolds. why do you have to take them off?

to access the inlets you basically have to do all the prep to pull the engine minus disconnecting the wiring, motor mounts, and a few other easy things.

I forgot to put the o ring from the inlets to the turbos when i swapped...really stupid mistake

You need to remove the hose from the IC to the inlet pipe. Then lower the front sway bar by unbolting the brackets from the sub frame. This allows access to two allen bolts that mount the inlet pipe. You need to get creative to get these out, but it isn't all that hard. Then you need to loosen the hose clamp that connects the inlet hose to the turbo. I was able to access this by reaching in through the wheel well. Hopefully the hose clamp screw is facing towards you. Once you get the inlet hose off the turbo, you should be able to pull and twist the inlet pipe and inlet hose out through front. Reinstall in reverse order.

Passenger side is easy by pulling the airbox and headlight. The lower inlet bolts are hard to reach but not impossible with a socket and swivel. The lower inlet pulls out through the headlight cut out.

Driver side is tougher with the PS resv and hoses in the way, but still possible by removing the headlight and moving the PS lines and resv.

Reinstall is reverse of removal.

I think you are writing about removing the pressure hoses and not the inlet pipes

this worked for my K04 inlets
