You won't regret it.

Can't wait for mine as well.

Question. During the install, does the turbo have to come out? Or is there enough room when the bumper is off to pull it with the piping intact?

It should come out fine with the turbo in place, just be careful not to knock the fins. It's a tight fit but then again so is the stock one

Granted I don't have a turbo, but I do have a long tube header that was some what in the way during the install. What I did to be on the safe side was remove the fan shroud, installed just the radiator first, then reinstalled the fan shroud. Went in very easily like that. Might make things easier for you turbo guys.

How long did the install take ?

Kind of hard to say. I was also helping a friend install lowering springs at the same time, but I would estimate 3-5 hours depending on how smooth things go for you. That includes bleeding the coolant system. Also a suggestion, remove the factory fans first before trying to remove the factory radiator. Just makes things that much easier.

There's a detailed YouTube video on how to install the mishimoto radiator. I'd have to imagine it's almost exactly the same. I was gonna use that as a reference.
