It would suck to find out that your ECU is stuck in customs for a week and your left without a car

well that would depend entirely on what time of day you shipped the ECU out at.
as long as the box is mailed expedited and marketed as "warrenty" or anything that does not imply a sale, it should not get help up in customs or get ding'ed with any brokerage/duties/etc on the trip back.
however, because we are in Canada and most people will probably be installing this kit on their own, expect 3-4days to a major center and anything less is just gravy! if you can make a little trip across the board to ship it, that would probably speed up the process!
if you are going to do the work over a weekend, pull the ECU on a thursday and expect it back monday!
the install should not take more than 12 hours however that is if you are actually working for 12hours.
most DIY's i know work at about a 60/40 mix of drinking&chatting to work ratio! so longer install times should be expected! ;)
