Default How difficult to remove Maggie

Howdy,
My Maggie has recently developed an internal "rattle". I assume it is a bearing or some such although the unit only has ~5000 miles on it. How difficult is it to remove the unit to ship it back to Magnuson? I can take it back to LPE if need be, but if this is a relatively simple procedure I'll attempt it myself.

Thanks
Scott

Basically, an intake manifold swap. Plug up the I/C coolant lines, get em out of the way, put the original belt on and you can go for a drive.

I forgot.... if you do intend on driving it w/o the mag you need to stay with the 42lb injectors or retune.

Very easy to do. Should take you less than 1 hour.

If you would like to drive an hour or so I got a friend who owns a shop that would be able to do it for pretty cheap. They have alot of experience with c5 vettes as they have help me build my car and they are 95% done on a tt zo6 that should make an easy 1000rwhp. Pm me if you would like a phone number. They are here in columbus.
