    so im currently trying to replace my stock turbo inlet with a gms one and I'm having some trouble getting the hose for the diverter valve off as well as getting access to the bolt on the intake manifold that holds part of the inlet tube on. I'm trying to go with the squeeze method instead of taking the manifold off. Can any of you offer me any advice? its a HUGE pain in the ass!

    also some of the lines that connect to the inlet were so hard that they broke, is there an after market silicon option to replace these with?

    Exactly what Matt said. He knows a few things about Subies for a Honda dude.

    how hard is it unbolt the TGV's from the heads, unclip a few sensors, and just lift it up? yeah I know I'm missing a few things but you should get the idea? right?

    Just got to advance auto parts, they have good hoses there. You just have to let them cut off an inch of each size for template. Then you can go back and tell them which ones you'll need. Cheaper and faster that way. Don't forget to buy small hose clamps as well.
