Installation
Refer to Figure D for Step 8 (The installation of the plastic vent tube
insert is important to prevent check engine light. These procedures should be
done with the turbo inlet tubes installed on the engine. It is shown off the
vehicle for better illustration.)
- Step 8 : Locate the factory plastic tube feeding the driver’s side turbo inlet. This is the connection closer to the turbo.
- Refer to Figure E for Steps 9-10.
- Step 9 : Locate the valve cover vent tube that feeds into the driver’s side turbo inlet (the connection closer to the turbo). It is not necessary to remove the engine cover.
- Step 10 : Check the color of the locking tab on the quick disconnect fitting. If the locking tab is orange, go to steps 11 and 12. If the locking tab is blue or grey, go to step 13.
- Refer to Figure F for Step 11.
- Step 11 : If the locking tab of the quick disconnect fitting is orange, like on this picture, you will need a quick disconnect tool to remove it.
Those disconnect tools are commonly used on AC and fuel lines.
