Am I retarded, or does replacing the plugs and wires require the removal of:

1) Strut brace
2) Manual boost controller (or at least the IC banjo)
3) Entire bloody fuel rail
4) All of the above

It seems crazy !

1) I don't know about the strut brace as I don't have one.
2) You'll most likely need to take out your MBC as it probably covers plug 1
3) No need
4) see 3

I can pull all my plug wires out without removing anything, but I have to take the IC banjo bolt off to get the actual plug out of 1.

Hmm, I don't have enough clearance to get between the AFPR and the intake. Maybe that's unique to the AFPR.

umm...

all I did was take off the wires and pulled them out and put the new ones in (took like 5min max)

I don't know how diffrent the turbo is to the 8V N/A or the S2 but seems like alot of work for plugwires.

It shouldn't require the removal of all that. Take a picture of your engine bay and let's see.

Here it is. Lots of things look like a tight squeeze, including getting it under the damper.
