Swapping All 6 Coil Packs Without Removing Anything!

Happy Saturday everybody!
I was making this post in light of something my friend mentioned to me.

I decided to upgrade to Eldor coils to further support the big turbos and other upgrades. They came in the mail yesterday and I decided to throw them in today.

My friend mentioned that on his single turbo kit he was able to replace all 6 coils without pulling the charge pipes, the aluminum brace, or the carbon brace.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but I can confirm that it is indeed possible. The only requirement is that you aren't running the bottom engine cover, which I don't. It took me all of 5-10 minutes (a few of which were texting my friend in awe) to swap all 6 out.
I will mention that anyone with large hands this will be difficult, but doable with some finesse.
These aren't great pictures but you can see cyl 5 out and 6 disconnected. 1-4 are significantly easier to swap, taking less than a minute in total.

Happy wrenching!

You didn't need to remove the aluminum brace?

Nope! Nothing at all. Carbon and aluminum braces both stayed in
