Installation Overview
Injen states that installation does require some mechanical skills, a qualified mechanic is always recommended, and the intake should not be installed while the engine is hot. The 8-page instructions cover these main stages:
- Remove the stock air box: disconnect the vacuum lines from the air intake port, loosen the turbo inlet duct clamp, pull the BOV from the intake duct port and remove its 4mm vacuum line, disconnect the sensor harness, pop the clips from the front air scoop, remove the mass air flow sensor, disconnect the 10mm breather hose, and remove the air box bolts and brackets.
- Install the silicone step hose on the turbo inlet and the 2-1/2" hump hose on the lower intercooler outlet with power-bands. If the upper intercooler tubing is being replaced, remove the front plastic shroud and the stock upper intercooler tubing and fit the 2" x 2-1/2" straight hose on the upper intercooler inlet.
- Mount the heat shield using the stock 12mm bolts, the M8 flange nut and the stock 10mm bolt as shown, then install the M6 vibra-mount on the heat shield bracket.
- Route the supplied 6" and 6-3/4" 4mm hoses from the solenoid ports to the intake ports (the stock two-into-one check valve is no longer used) and fit the 10mm hose on the intake vacuum port.
- Install the intake into the turbo step hose, fasten the bracket to the vibra-mount, fit the filter through the heat shield, and install the mass air flow sensor in the machined adapter with the M4 x 10mm bolts. Injen recommends a small amount of light oil on the O-ring.
- Connect the MAF harness, the 10mm crank case hose and the 1-3/8" BOV hose, reinstall the BOV, fit the vinyl trim on the heat shield edge, install the upper intercooler tubing if used, and replace the plastic shroud.
- Align the intake clear of moving parts, tighten all nuts, bolts and clamps, reconnect the negative battery terminal and check for odd noises or leaks.
