Default 1.9 / HV3 install

Does anyone know of a good install guide for either of these applications?

I've only seen one on ZZP of a customer install of the HV3, but I wasn't too fond of the pictures/walkthrough.

I did the HV3 last spring and it wasnt to bad at all. the hardest part is getting the fuel rails out of the way and all i did was zip tie them to my windshield wipers.

But there are about 15 bolts i think that you have to take out all together. also i found out that it helps if you take the Throttle body off of the UIM so it is easier to move when going to put the HV3 in.

Besides that it is pretty straight forward on putting the HV3 in.

i heard since you are doing all the trouble for the HV3, you might as well do the rockers at the same time.

worth it?
