N20 chargepipe installation?

Any of you N20 guys swap out your chargepipe for the ER or VRSF one? I ask because I want to order it today but I can't find anything on google for the installation of the unit. It looks like the N55 is a big PITA 2-3 hours to install and I'm wondering how the N20 installation is. Is there anything in particular I need to lookout for? A link to an installation vid or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

there are a few diys out there. process is pretty much the same.... disconnect electronics, remove old pipe, wrestle to get new pipe in, reconnect electronics.

note, make sure to have replacement o-rings or reuse the old ones AND make sure they are installed not backwards.

the throttle body connection seems to be, and was, the hardest connection. it's at an awkward position and hard to get any force on.

good luck!

N55 vids everywhere but nothing on the N20. There's one in another language on YouTube but he just shows the before and after install but nothing on the actual installation. I would think it'd be easier than the N55 because there should be more room to work with but who knows?
