Finally installed. did not need to remove anything except the 2 front braces and the plastic side panels. Did not need to remove the intake grommets and air duct tubes. I was able to get my hand in on both sides without too much issue.
The EGW plugs have been left unplugged for now since yeah, its hard to get to them, plus the turbos were HOT so I wasnt really able to get in there too easily.
the driver side is decent, I was able to get it unplugged and would probably be able to connect the JB4 connector, but the passenger side was a no go due to the turbo being too hot.

Also, I did NOT route through the firewall to avoid any rips/tears in it due to the plug size, instead routed it through the door jam > through fender> to the compartment where the JB4 unit is mounted.

Did not feel like fiddling with the firewall grommet and poking holes, etc... I was thinking of gutting the end plug off of the OBDII cable that plugs into the JB4, routing the wire through the firewall hopefully without ripping it, and then reattaching the wire to the plug in the engine bay, but too much work, so just routed it through the fender to allow for an easier uninstall.
