Doddle to fit, but heavy, cable ties to take the weight if doing on your own are a good help, tie around pipes and to body to hold most of weight, apart from that straightforward fitment.

I've done it all alone with only a jack, like tabetha says you'll need some cable ties, also unbolted the radiator with hoses in place took me about an hour and a half in total

I just fitted my bigger intercooler the other week. I removed the bolts that hold the rad in and cable tide the tad to the pas belt. It was a bit tight to get the cooler in and a bit of a struggle on but i got there in the end. It took me a few hours to fit it.
