You will need...

A Torx driver set to remove the screws from the front of the air filter box and the two screws that hold the turbo inlet pipe onto the front of the air filter box.

A medium sized Philips or cross-head screw driver to remove the small screws that hold the air filter in place inside the air filter box.

A medium sized flat blade screw driver to undo the hose clip on the intake side of the turbo.

And about 30 minutes to do the job and install the parts when the engine is cold as the turbo gets ****ing hot!!! You don't want to burn your hands, do you?

With the JCW stage 1 kit, the ITG filter, Works turbo inlet pipe and a tank full of decent petrol, you should be getting about 205 to 208bhp?

And if you get the Miltek hi-flow cat, you'll be up to about 215 to 218bhp....l like me!

Have fun!
