Installation Instruction
- If not done already, we begin by cutting the OEM pinch clamps from the factory coolant hoses.
- Since the CLUB turbocharger is non water cooled turbo. Hoses will need to be linked together to create a coolant “by-pass”.
- Supplied with the package is some heat management, we recommend now to install the heat shielding around the engine starter. It’s very difficult to do this while the header is installed.
- THE EXHUAST BRACKET HERE WILL NEED TO BE CUT or REMOVED.
- Loosen factory clutch vent clamp to route vent tube downward. As shown below.
- We supply ARP stainless steel hardware for the exhaust manifold to cylinder head installation. High temp graphite (ARP molly) for the installation.
- Install both “alignment” studs on each side of the cylinder head. Helps with installation of the turbo manifold.
