Step 4.

Disconnect crankcase breather tube at the intake manifold. Loosen and remove the air box mounting bolt. Remove the air box by pulling straight up.

Simply put, the tube just pulls off. Don't be shy and give 'er a yank! Use a 3/8" socket to remove the air box mounting bolt. (See pic 6. below.)

Once it's off just pull up on the entire air box and it will come up in your hands.

Step 5.

Loosen and remove nut. Remove Bracket. Reinstall nut

Loosen the nut with a 5/8" deep well socket. It's your choice whether you want to put the nut back on or not. It isn't needed at all! (See Pic 7. below.)

Step 6.

Insert the IAT Sensor from step 2c in the instruction manual into the coupler. Be careful not to damage the sensor.

Ok, so use some "Gorilla Snot" outlined in the required tools section. This is basically your spit. Wet your finger tips liberally and smear it around the IAT and shove it into the 90 degree elbow coupler. Now here's something the instructions DON'T tell you. The IAT sensor has to be positioned a certain way to get the most accurate reading. The air has to be drawn against the the face of the little blue head. Take a look at Pic 8 below and orient it this exact way.

Step 7.

Attach the smaller end of the coupler to the throttle body and secure with provided hose clamp as shown. Reconnect the IAT Sensor wire harness connector tand lock in place.

FIRST MAKE SURE ALL FOREIGN DEBRIS IS REMOVED FROM THE COUPLER. Packing peanuts reminents are not allowed. I wiped down the inside of all of the intake tubes with a little simple green, but soapy water with a rag will work fine.

The hose clamp to use for this is the smaller of the 4 that come with the kit. It's not much smaller so make sure you get the right one so you don't have to come back and remove it later. Also, to give yourself less struggle fitting the coupler to the throttle body, loosen it up a bit and slide the clamp further down the coupler so it's about 2" away from the end. That way you're not fighting trying to fit it when the throttle body expands the rubber coupler.

Furthermore, what I did was rotate the hose clamp on the coupler and throttle body so that the screw fitting is as much out of view as possible for that "nice, clean look." (See pic 8. below.)

Step 8.

At this point I took the time to clean all the dirt and gunk that made it's way into all of the now visible crevices. I took some simple green (soapy water works fine) and cleaned off the coolant reservoir and power steering reservoir.

Insert the heat shield into the air box cavity. The tab should fit in the slot securely.

Step 9.

Check clearance around the coolant lines. The mounting tab will pass under the coolant lines. Check for clearance against the wiring harness.

Step 8 and 9 should have been combined into one since you need to make sure you clear the lower coolant line and you also try to insert the tab of the bracket into the slot in the coolant reservoir. Some finesse should do the trick. (See Pic 9. and Pic 10. below.)
