nope! its pretty simple. but make sure you look at the way the stock one is in, so u dont put it in backwards. and also, get a botle of engine oil or something. becuaes when you stick the hoses on, they may not wanna go, so rub some on ur finger then trun it around the hose and it should slide in with some effort.

Its not hard.. It doesnt matter which way you install it, it will work either way, but keeping it in stock orientation isnt a bad idea. Hardest part is getting the crimp clamp off the DV vac line on top of the DV-youll need tin snips or a small screw driver to pry it off. Make sure you have a new clamp for that, i just used a zip tie though and its held up for a long time.

S4 is easier. VW 1.8t's are even easier.
