After finding out the details of sorting myself a decat for my Y plate VTR I was just wondering how big a job it actually is...?
How long does it take? Does anything have to be removed to get to it? etc etc

mine took a while to fit, as it was a bastard of a job to remove the bolt that holds the manifold onto the engine/gearbox 
but it was well worth it
