LOL... wiring is a bit scary, but you can do it! It's easier once you get in there and put your hands on it. You could do all the install except the wiring and let a shop take car of that if it's too much for you to want to "risk".

That install shows a kit that is older, the DVC-30 kit (or whatever it is called) has fewer wires. He also shows hooking it up with a relay, which you don't have to do. Pretty much power, ground and Map sensor.

dvc-30 doesnt use the MAP sensor for boost signal, u use a boost tap same as u would a boost gauge and run the boost hose 2 the dvc-30 controller

You can use either... would you run a boost line to the trunk???
Edit, NM I was thinking about running it to the pump... But still, I would rather use a wire.

That was my origional idea to run a system similar to that but I dont want to lose the trunk space, and then there are more (longer) wires to run, plus you have to worry about running the wires and hoses from the rear hatch to the front discretely and then through the firewall, too much hassle for me.
Plus the external resivoir doesnt come with a low level light so if you want to install that (i would) then you have to buy that, and ru neven more wires, and then install a light somewhere to display that your tank is getting low. even more hassle.
The stock WW tank fits a gallon of fluid, has a built in low level sensor & light , and I get to run much much much shorter wires and hoses. BINGO I was sold.

Pg. 6:
3-5 wires, depending on your method of installing it. Its quite easy.

I just hard wired my 12v from the battery and used the supplied in-line fuse instead of re-pinning, call me lazy I guess.

^^no that aint lazy thats smart, lol. if you have the tb pipe w/ the bungs in it already, and you get the boost source kit, this install shouldnt be very difficult at all, id say go for it, for me the nerve racking part was "tapping" the tb pipe, but now bsh has released one already fabbed up an pretty an goes with the DO kits they sell...
