Having just completed an AMS install a month ago, I agree with what Jon said. The left side in particular is difficult to get in as easily as the right side due to the location of aircon piping. Further, the factory uses 'snap couplings' where the intercooler hoses connect to the turbos and the left side turbo fitting is difficult to access easily. I ended up removing the left air cleaner assembly completely to get a good pull at the connector from the top. When inserting the new alloy adapters you need to be sure they are pushed fully in so they will lock into the snap coupler. Apart from that, there are four main hose clamps that needed to be tightened correctly when the silicon hoses are fitted to the intercoolers.
Other places to be careful are where the diverter valves mount to the face of the bottom tanks, the plastic right angle adapters are a push and twist fitting with a lock screw and providing the o rings are not damaged should seal. I did have an issue with the right hand diverter mount as the intercooler was not correctly finish machined (it was 0.2 mm too small and had no chamfer) but I corrected the error as it was too far to be sending it back ... The diverter valve hoses normally use squeeze clamps for sealing - I prefer screw type hose clamps and made a change when fitting the new Evoms Diverters.
When doing such an installation, it is well worth going over every hose connection three times before buttoning everything up and replacing the bumper - to be sure! By far the most common boost leak is the main large hose connecting the Y inlet pipe to the front of the engine just behind the radiator top edge, there is a chance that the newer free flowing intercoolers are just adding a little more boost than in the past (especially if you have a Cobb tune added too) and it has popped this large hose connection.
Looking forward to the Flat 6 video, after doing the job myself it will be nice to compare the 'joys'.
