INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Under the hood, remove the hood release lever by depressing the retaining button located by the arrow in Figure 1.

STEP 2

Remove the upper radiator cover by lifting up at the arrows in Figure 2. Lift and slide forward to remove the cover completely.

NOTE: Temporarily reinstall the hood release lever. If the hood should ever close without this in place, opening the hood again will be difficult.

STEP 3

Remove the air box inlet duct by removing the two (2) T25 torx screws, shown by the arrows in Figure 3.
Slide the inlet duct toward the engine, lift up, and remove completely.

STEP 4

Pop the engine cover off of the four (4) mounting pins by lifting up gently.
Loosen the worm clamp as shown by Arrow A in Figure 4
Separate the corrugated intake hose from the turbo inlet.
Remove the vacuum line shown by the arrow in Figure 4

NOTE: The 2.0T factory turbo inlet hose will be easier to remove from the turbo inlet if the engine is warm. Be mindful of potentially hot engine components.

STEP 5

Gently lift upwards on the OEM intake box to remove it from the three (3) post mounts.
Check for any rubber grommets still attached to the posts on the box, as shown by the arrow in Figure 5.1; remove if still on factory intake box.
Place the grommets back into the original locations in the engine bay, as shown by the arrows in Figure 5.2.

STEP 6

In some vehicles the forward upper control arm bolt protrudes into the passenger side engine bay area, as shown in Figure 6.1. This interferes with the intake fitment so this bolt should be swapped with the shorter driver side forward upper control arm bolt. Figure 6.3 shows the swapped control arm bolts.

STEP 7

Pre-assemble the AirGate™ carbon air box by installing the S-FLO filter, making sure the end with the smaller hole positioned onto the post inside the box, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 7. Install the carbon turbo tube at the open end of the S-FLO filter and clock until all three (3) mount holes align. Arrow B in Figure 7.
Use the included M5 washers and screws to secure the carbon turbo tube into position.

NOTE: If using the AirGate™ Lid, install into position and secure with the remaining M5 washers and screws, as shown by Arrow C in Figure 7.

STEP 8

Install the included silicone coupler onto the carbon turbo tube referenced in Step 5 using one of the included worm clamps, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 8 on the S4 intake.
Place the assembly into the engine bay and align with the three (3) grommets that were referenced in Step 4.
Use the remaining worm clamp to install the outlet end of the silicone coupler onto the turbo inlet pipe, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 8.
Gently push downward on the corners of the intake box to affix the assembly into location. Gently tug upward to make sure the box is securely in place.
For 2.0T Installation:
Connect the vacuum line from Step 3 to the hard line on the 2.0T carbon turbo tube.
STEP 9

Carefully align the carbon inlet with the intake box and the mounting locations shown by the arrows in Figure 9.
Reinstall the plastic screws that were removed in Step 2 with the T25 torx driver, as shown by the arrows in Figure 9.

STEP 10

If the hood release lever is still installed, as recommended in Step 1, remove it in order to reinstall the upper radiator cover, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 10.
Reinstall the hood release, shown by Arrow B in Figure 10.
Reinstall the engine cover over the four (4) mount pins, make sure to push downward to properly secure the cover into position.

About the AirGate™ Lid:
Removing this panel will increase the presence of sounds that resonate from the turbo under boost. Installing this panel shields the intake and filter from the higher air temperatures that are present in the engine bay while reducing the sounds that come from the intake.

ENJOY!
