Help a noobie with installing an intercooler (NOVA area)?

[stannypack]

Long shot but wondering if anyone with experience could help me install a CVF Street Intercooler on my ecoboost. Not super mechanically inclined, I've done all the mods in my signature except for the exhaust (since I didn't have a jack then). I'd like to keep my active grill shutters so not sure how much pain that would add lol

I'd be happy to buy lunch/dinner and bring some beers

We can help you. Manassas down the street from the red roof inn. I have the same part waiting for my eco as well.

It's supposed to be sunny and 80 on Thurs so we can probably come to some kind of arrangement

I actually just ordered it from lethalperformance, so I don't think it'd be in by then unfortunately

do you happen to remember all the tools required?
From what I've seen from a couple of videos, all I need is:

-trim removal tool
-ratchet, extensions, swivel socket
-8mm, 5.5mm, 7mm, 10mm, torx t25

Hey I am late to this thread but I wanted to reach out as I am in the same boat. The CVF street seems to be the bargain of the century and relatively easy to install. My big (literally) concern is getting the front off. How many hands did you end up needing? Was it pretty straightforward? Any videos you recommend?

Its not hard to take it off. Jack and jackstands, an extra person wouldn't hurt but it's not necessary.
