Simple ECU Question

Looking at the GIAC ECU upgrade and since my MCS is in winter storage I don't mind sending off the ECU.

Question:

What is the proper removal / installation steps for the ECU? Any pictures and/or scnas from the Bentley manual are apppreciated.

Under the bonnet, next to the airbox. Pull the cover off the ECU by squeezing the two tabs. Pull the two connectors off by sliding the locks longitudinally. The ECU itself just sits in there, yank it up and out.

Of course you would disconnect the neg. battery terminal first.
