Default Supercharger removal and reinstallation

I'm checking out the jaguar tech info and it looks pretty decent. It looks like a bunch of hose removals and moving stuff out of the way. How long does this operation typically take you? I'm going to remove the blower and send it off to get ported. I also apparently have to fix the coolant hose underneath the supercharger. Anyone know anything more about that hose like a part number or approximate cost? I'm loosing coolant currently. Where does that hose go?

I think someone posted some data before, Search should find it for you. I don't think they posted step-by-step photos so if you do the job.... please do

after reading posts from others about the hose under the blower (UK forum as well)It can be a pita to change and very costly if you pay a shop to do it.
If you plan to keep your car for a long time I would look at getting a braided hose custom made from a local performance shop. Not sure if it is even doable,but with the amount of work and time and money you are spending it sure would be something I would check into..let us know how it goes.

I just read that it was 6.2 hours for the dealer on a different forum. That basically means about 9-12 hours to remove and reinstall it for me. This is going to be a long week....

I saw a picture of the hose with the blower removed on a different thread and it looks like a specialty type hose. I'll be pissed if I replace the thing only to find that it's a bad hose clamp...
