Product Usage Instructions

1. Park the vehicle on level ground and engage the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the engine cover by removing the two screws securing it to the engine, then lift and pull it forward to remove it from the vehicle.
4. Remove the screw securing the air intake tube to the engine.
5. Disconnect the coolant overflow hose from the air intake tube.
6. Loosen the two clamps securing the air intake tube onto the air box and the turbo inlet tube.
7. Disconnect the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) wire harness from the air intake tube.
8. Disconnect the PCV hose from the engine by squeezing the ribbed areas on the connector, then pulling it off of the engine.
9. Disconnect the air intake tube from the mounting pin on the charge pipe by lifting up on the air intake tube and holding the pin in its place.
10. Remove the air intake tube from the vehicle.
11. Remove the screw securing the cold side charge pipe to the engine.
12. Release the retaining clip securing the cold side charge pipe to the engine inlet.
13. Release the retaining clip securing the cold side charge pipe to the intercooler from underneath the vehicle.
14. Remove the cold side charge pipe from the vehicle from the top.
15. Remove the plastic retainers from the charge pipe by standing it up on the end with the metal adaptor and tapping it down on either side of the plastic retainers.
16. Transfer the factory metal clips onto the corresponding ends of the aFe cold side charge pipes in the same orientation as removed from the factory charge pipes.
17. Transfer the factory mounting grommet onto the upper aFe cold side charge pipe.
18. Note: Be sure to use thread sealant on the plug or sensor to prevent any leaking. If you are not using any aftermarket sensors, install the 1/8 NPT plug into the threaded fitting on the upper aFe cold side charge pipe.
19. Note: Be sure to lubricate the O-ring with grease to prevent it from tearing during installation.
20. Install the 60mm ID x 4mm W O-rings into the grooves on the inside of the upper and lower aFe cold side charge pipes.
21. Install the shorter side of the aFe silicone elbow coupling, 3x 45 Deg, and one of the 3.25 spring-loaded t-bolt clamps onto the end of the lower aFe cold side charge pipe. Do not tighten the clamp yet.
