Installation 1. Prepare the vacuum manifold #2 for installation by installing fittings #3, 4, 5, and 6. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealing paste to ensure a positive seal on all pipe threads. The number and use of the ports can be customized (extra 1/8 NPT plugs are supplied to block unused ports). Generally, the vacuum manifold should be setup up as pictured. The 90° 3/8” nipple is for the brake booster, the 1/8” nipple is for the fuel pressure regulator reference, and the two 45° 1/4” nipples are for the EVAP purge solenoid and boost control solenoid lines. Optional Boost/ Vacuum Reference Brake Booster Fuel Pressure Regulator 2. Inspect the inside of the plenum #1 to ensure it is clean of debris, dirt, or other foreign matter. 3. Install the vacuum manifold to the plenum, being sure to install the supplied o-ring #7. It may be helpful to secure the o-ring in a few spots with silicone grease to hold it in place during installation. The vacuum fittings should face the throttle body mounting flange for most installations. Apply a small amount of blue Loctite and secure the manifold with the four M6 screws #8. Torque screws to 75 in-lb (6.25 ft-lb). Ensure O-Ring Is Properly Seated

Radio Installation Tools required One short length #2 Phillips screwdriver One medium length #2 Phillips screwdriver One long length #2 Phillips screwdriver (must be magnetic) (I use a magnetic screwdriver extension on my medium screwdriver) Helpful tool: 1/4 inch ratchet driver with 1/4″ socket to accept a 1/4″ #2 Phillips screwdriver bit. Allows for more torque than the short #2 Phillips screwdriver. Step 1: disconnect negative battery cable and wait 10 minutes. Why do this? Because we will be working directly over the airbag control module, one static discharge could inflate an airbag. In practice I have never heard of an incidental airbag inflation, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Step 2: disconnect the climate control cable from the heater duct. ???? Climate control models ???? Below the passenger’s side of the dash a cable from the temperature dial is connected to the heating duct. If this cable is not disconnected it is more difficult to pull the radio which is attached to a bracket which also holds the climate control dials. Damage to the cable (kinks) may also result if this step is skipped. Audio System Installation Guide

water on the front passenger side floor, there is the possibility that the evaporator drain hose is obstructed. The evaporator drain hose will need to be checked for obstructions and modified. The evaporator hose was modified in production starting in the middle of October, 2008. Repair Procedure/Information Evaporator drain hose inspection: ^ Check to make sure the hose is not folded or kinked. ^ Check to make sure the hose is not pinched by the ECM bracket (located on the front passenger side foot area). ^ Check to make sure there are no dry leaves, insects, spider webs, etc. in the hose. ^ Check to make sure the hose is properly seated to the evaporator case. ^ Check to make sure that the grommet in the firewall that the hose runs through is properly seated. Hose Modification By cutting the hose to a shorter length, it helps prevent spiders from crawling from the control arm to the hose end. ^ Cut off the end of the hose (engine compartment side) to the following specification: ^ Legacy / Outback – 10 mm ^ Tribeca – 25 mm Note: For Tribeca models, if an orifice was installed following Service Bulletin #1 0-76- 06, remove the orifice, cut the hose, and reinstall the orifice.
