Turbo Inlet install from under the car?

How exactly would you install it from under the car? Do you just jack it up and the pipe is right there to unbolt?
Thanks

I'm curious about this also, who has installed these by themselves? Which brand did you use, and how difficult was the install? I feel I'm pretty handy, but really would prefer to not mess up my turbocharger. Anyway, any experiences would be welcome.

You're going to work from over and under to do it quick. From the top; take the airbox out, to disconnect inlet hose, pull out clip. From the bottom; remove coolant hose hex screw from block, remove inlet pipe hex screw, remove inlet pipe. Assemble in reverse order.

Someone needs to post some pics if they can because this is somewhat complicated.

I didn't do anything about coolant hoses. You have to remove the airbox 2 bolts, Then remove/Unplug the Maf and rubber intake Boot. Just place it on top of the engine, there is a clip at the bottom of the rubber pipe that will have to come off to get the intake hose out of there. From there you can remove the hose that goes to the N75 valve from under the car. Now there is 1 Hex nut that holds the inlet pipe on. You'll typically need the rubber Oring that is in there for your new one. Just place it in the groove for the new one and assemble in the reverse order.

Okay look at your intake it goes in this order. Airbox->MAF sensor->Rubber Intake Boot->turbo inlet pipe. Got it. It's what your Diverter Valve is plugged into. Also see the nipple on the new Intake pipe? That's where the N75 hose goes.
