Please Note: If you have a CBFA (California Emissions), please look at page
5 for additional instructions for installation.
Before You Begin: While this installation is straightforward and only requires
basic hand tools, it should be performed by an experienced individual. The
intake system is critical to the livelihood of the engine and care must be
taken to avoid any foreign objects being allowed to enter the intake tract.
Please verify that you have all necessary components before attempting to
install this piece, and ensure that it is in accordance with all local and state
laws.
STEP 1
Remove the top cover for the air duct
(marked with arrows).
STEP 2
Loosen airbox
by pulling up
on right
(drivers side)
corner (rubber grommet with white arrow) and removing 5mm Allen bolt
(red arrow)
STEP 3
Remove rear section of air duct (several plastic clips hold this to the front
section that is bolted to the radiator support. The second picture shows rear
section of the duct removed. Remove the two T25 torx bolts holding the
front section to the radiator support; then remove this duct as well.
STEP 4
Remove the electrical connector from the Mass Air Flow meter and set it
aside. Then loosen the spring clamp behind the MAF (indicated by white
arrows) and remove the turbo inlet tube from the MAF.
STEP 5
Now the airbox can be easily removed. After lifting up slightly you will notice
a drain tube that connects to the bottom of the airbox. Disconnect this, and
continue removing the airbox (rotate counter clockwise to allow intake tube
to clear the coolant line). After removing the airbox, pull out the drain tube
(it will have a small filter at the end). The drain is not reused.
STEP 6
Remove the two Phillips head screws that
hold the Mass Air Flow meter to the factory
airbox and set the MAF aside. The screws
are not reused.
STEP 7
Install the MAF sensor and air filter to the intake pipe. In the first picture,
note that the silicone coupler is pushed in the pipe all the way to the
attachment bracket. The MAF electrical coupler should face upward as the
attachment bracket faces downward. Secure all hose clamp connections.
STEP 8
Utilizing two of the supplied washers, one
4mm allen head bolt, and the supplied nut,
install the inlet pipe to the heatshield as
shown above. Make sure the bracket is on
the FRONT (air filter side) of the heatshield.
The installation hole in the heatshield is
notched to allow slight adjustment once in
the vehicle for best fit. There should be one
washer on the bolthead side and one on the nut side (coming in contact with
the inlet pipe bracket and “back” of the heatshield)
STEP 9
Next, install the heatshield / inlet pipe assembly into the vehicle. It is easiest
to insert the front of the heatshield first, and then lay the rest of the
assembly into place. Install the remaining 4mm allen head bolt and washer
to attach the heatshield to the battery tray (located by the white circled area
above). Reconnect the turbo inlet hose to the MAF utilizing the original
spring clamp. If not already tight, tighten the bolt/nut holding the inlet pipe
to the heatshield and reconnect the electrical connector on the MAF (should
be pointing upwards!)
STEP 10
Clear any tools from the area, double
check that all hose connections and
bolts are tight, shut the hood and
enjoy your new I-Flow Intake!
CBFA Changes:
Removal of stock airbox: Before removing the stock airbox from the
vehicle, you will notice an additional hose connected to the top half (facing
the front of vehicle). Squeeze the edges to disconnect this hose and move it
out of the way.
Before installing I-Flow into vehicle: Before re-installing I-Flow into the
vehicle, install the provided breather filter onto the hose that was
disconnected from the stock airbox (above). This is a very tight fit, and
some vehicles will have a small rubber sealing o-ring on the hose that needs
to be removed. A small amount of lubricant may assist in the installation.
After the filter is installed; position the hose/breather as shown below, if
needed secure with a zip-tie.
