As far as the install I'd say it's a 5. Only because the biggest problem i'm finding right now is the nozzle. I talked to a few custome fab places and they all say the same thing. You basically have to take the pipe into a metal fab shop and have them weld a small bung onto the pipe to screw the nozzle in.
You could just drill a hole, push the nozzle in, and JB weld the thing but that's ugly, not very durable, and could pose problems later. The custome welding would be an Ideal situation. In California it's a $100 job. They have to machine a bung small enough for the nozzle and then the TIG weld on aluminum.

Other than that the install is simple, especially if you have an electric boost gauge. I didn't so I had to do all kinds of fabrication for a MAP sensor and so on. I'll explain later.

The OE winshield washer reservoir is a 4 litter bottle and the pump runs 1 litter a minute at max dutycycle so you figure you have about 4 minutes until you run out at max duty cycle.
Unless you're making 1400HP and drag racing every second you won't run through 4 liters for quite a while. I know two built motor twin turbo 600+ hp cars running 1 quart tanks that last a week. Just make sure you are only spraying when you really need to. You don't necessarily need it to spray at 1-3 PSI so eliminate that area.
