I have the V2 t trim, As I remember all that had to be removed was the intake curved piece. I used a deep socket cut down a bit and a ratchet and an extension handle and get it from the top. Its a Pain.

I'm going to take it back to the shop

not just for that

I'm looking to soften the "hit" when the blower kicks in. and make it better for autocrossing.
