To install the Cold Air Intake System, follow the instructions below:

Removal

  1. Remove the engine cover by pulling straight up off the four (4x) mounting grommets.
  2. Using a 7mm socket and driver, loosen the clamp at the turbo inlet pipe.
  3. Disconnect the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor.
  4. Disconnect the smog pump fitting from the side of the factory airbox.
  5. Disconnect the small CCV line from the side of the factory airbox.
  6. Remove the entire stock intake system by disconnecting the intake tube from the turbo inlet, then pulling straight up off the mounting grommets and rotating out of the inlet scoop.
  7. With the factory intake out of the vehicle, use a pair of hose clamp pliers or channel locks to loosen the clamp on the factory MAF sensor cartridge and disconnect the intake tube.
  8. Using a T25 Torx driver, remove the screw securing the MAF cartridge. Rotate the cartridge counterclockwise to remove it from the factory airbox.

Installation

  1. Install the supplied rubber inlet trim onto the inlet of your aFe POWER housing.
  2. Install the three (3x) supplied grommets into the holes on the bottom of your aFe POWER housing.
  3. Install your aFe POWER housing into the vehicle by sliding the front inlet onto the factory scoop, then rotating the housing down onto the mounting points. Press firmly to lock the grommets onto the mounting pegs.
  4. Install your aFe POWER air filter into the filter housing by firmly pressing it into the opening until the small tabs are locked on the inside of the housing. Leave the clamp loose on the filter opening.

  • Step 8: Using a T25 Torx driver, remove the screw 7 securing the MAF cartridge. Rotate the cartridge counterclockwise to remove it from the factory airbox.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-6
  • Step 9: Install the supplied rubber inlet trim 8 onto the inlet of your aFe POWER housing.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-7
  • Step 10: Install the three (3x) supplied grommets 9 into the holes on the bottom of your aFe POWER housing.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-8
  • Step 11: Install your aFe POWER housing into the vehicle by sliding the front inlet onto the factory scoop, then rotating the housing down onto the mounting points. Press firmly to lock the grommets onto the mounting pegs.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-9
  • Step 12: Install your aFe POWER air filter into the filter housing by firmly pressing it into the opening until the small tabs are locked on the inside of the housing. Leave the clamp loose on the filter opening.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-10
  • Step 13: Install the supplied O-Ring 10 onto the inlet side of the MAF sensor cartridge as shown.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-11
  • Step 14: Insert the MAF cartridge into your aFe POWER intake tube as shown. Rotate the cartridge until the mounting locations line up with the inserts on the intake tube. The O-Ring on the tube should rest inside the inner chamfered edge of the aFe POWER intake tube.
  • Step 15: Secure the MAF cartridge in place using the supplied button head screws and washers. Insert the screw 11 first through the lock washer 12 then through the flat washer 13 then into the inserts on the aFe POWER intake tube.Tighten the screws using a 4mm allen key.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-12
  • Step 16: Install the supplied 1” ID grommet 14 into the opening on your aFe POWER intake tube, then press the supplied aluminum fitting 15 into the grommet. Make sure the fitting is fully seated in the grommet for a good seal.
  • Step 17: Install the supplied ¼” brass hose nipple 16 into the threaded insert on the bottom of the intake tube. Use a ½” deep socket and driver to tighten the fitting. This is an NPT style fitting – some threads will still be exposed when the fitting is fully tightened. Do not overtighten the fitting or you rist stripping the insert out of the plasticaFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-13
  • Step 18: Install the supplied coupling 17 and #044 clamp 18 onto your turbo inlet with the bellows near the turbo. Place the #048 clamp 19 loosely on the open end of the coupling. Leave both clamps loose.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-14
  • Step 19: Install your aFe POWER intake tube and MAF cartridge assembly first into the air filter, then rotating down to the turbo inlet coupling. Once aligned, tighten all three (3x) clamps 20 using an 8 mm socket and driver.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-15
  • Step 20: Reconnect the smog pump hose 21 to the fitting on the side of your aFe POWER intake tube.
  • Step 21: Connect the CCV hose 22 to the barbed fitting on the bottom of your aFe POWER intake tube.
  • Step 22: Reconnect the MAF sensor wire harness 23.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-16
  • Step 23: (Optional) Use the provided plug 24 to close the additional air inlet if you want to completely seal the filter housing. Best performance is obtained without the plug.aFe-POWER-50-70088D-Cold-Air-Intake-System-fig-17
