It will require extra gaskets/ o-rings but removing the intake manifold and vac pump will make your life a lot easier for pump removal. Once you get the intake manifold you can leave the injector lines grouped together and just undo them at the injector and pump ends.
I'm not quite sure what to expect. I've heard everything from just take the pump off, to pulling the radiator out and just about everything else on the drivers side of the block..
The tcv and vac pump make it near impossible to get to the bottom nut on the injector pump unless you get creative with some bending and welding to make a custom 12mm spanner.
Radiator out will make it easier to access the ip gear as you will need to use a puller to get the gear off the shaft. Unless you can get a slim style puller. Make sure you align the timing marks prior to removal.
Its easier to remove the lines as they just get in the way when trying to pull the pump back off the studs and up and out.
I've read many times that there's 2 longer bolts that hold the ip timing cover on and you can use these to pull the ip timing gear off.
I got to remember how this bugger goes back together. Latest info is my gear is being air freighted out of Perth on Monday.
Having 2nd thought's about doing the injector pump by myself :confused::confused::confused: just not feeling confident...
So in an act of true procrastination I installed my airbox and painted the panel on the back door that works the auto wheel carrier swing arm :o Also test fitted the pipework for the turbo, all good.

Is the outlet on that air box 4inch mate? I also assume it fits in nice where the oem filter is and the battery can stay where it is?

Yes mate, it's 4" in and out. I've had to move nothing to get it in there, the battery will slip into it's original spot no problems. Pipework essentially misses everything, well nothing that can't be fixed in 30 seconds or less.

Should of read this bit first...lol
I'll be following your thread mate as I'm starting a similar thing with mine.
Time for an update. Finally after 3 months my UFI gear has turned up, hoping it's worth the wait as it hasn't really been a smooth process getting to here, but anyway lets put that behind us and concentrate on going forward.
first up, new style 18g turbo

Followed by a 250hp 12mm pump (nice clear pic through the plastic bag ....)

Some new squirters

Just waiting on the flywheel now which will look something like this

It was definitely a shame the turbo had some slight damage to it on the front lip

Probably occured during transport and UFI could definitely package them better, especially after such the long wait. All impressive looking gear though. Anyway, quickly tidied up the front lip and went about installing the turbo.
