You'll find lots of posts on this, but here's my experience putting Perrin hoses on my 2002 TMIC:
The clamp on the recirculating hose is as tough to get off as everyone claims; have an extra and be prepared to cut it off, or consider leaving this hose stock.
The Y-pipe I got required a little trimming on one leg; compare the Perrin to the stock pipe before you take the stock pipe off to check for this.
I cleaned out a little molding flash from the inside of the Y-pipe with an Exacto knife, and I took the time to remove and knife-edge the aluminum inlet elbows.
A little alcohol on the ID of the new Y-pipe will make it easier to get onto the turbo outlet.
