Here is a complete How to:

It took me 2 hours my first time

The only (SPECIAL) tool i would say is a spring clip pliers. Not really that special tho

Also this boost leak will not cancel your tune. Your car will typically act the same but just hold more boost

thanks! i know it wont cancel the tune because of the leak.Im just hoping that when i fix the seals,a problem dont arise that requires me not being able to fix it properly and therefore miss the tune.Everytime i work on my car something has to go wrong

Hasn't happened yet, and after experiences dealing with previous people I am making no promises on when these may show up.
