15-20 min. not bad at all. all you have to do is remove the rear seats and pop open the top of the fuel tank located right behind the seat. pull the whole unit out very carefully so not to damage the float rod, and then just remove the old pump....clip in the new pump and put the unit back into the tank. bolt everything down and your done.

also i've heard it's better to use the stock fuel filter bag instead of the walbro one.

it should be a drop in, unless the clip for your pump is different than the walbro. otherwise i have the extra wiring harness that came with the walbro if you need it.

the pump is no different. they only change was the addition of a slosh box around the filter. no tapping anything just drop it in.

only PITA part is getting the little rubber grommet thing on the bottom of the pump into its place. other then that its really easy.

you don't have to remove your rear seats if you have some of those right angle phillips screwdrivers, make sure to relieve the pressure in the lines if you don't want to pass out from the gas fumes

I did it on my 06' STi and it was not difficult. It took about an hour.

I re-used the old bag and needed no other parts than the pump itself. Do not waste your money on the "adapter" kit like I did. It wasn't needed.
