1) Remove air duct, battery cover, battery, lower battery tray and silver wiring harness bracket that is mounted with two bolts to
the battery tray. 2) Remove bypass valve along with both tubes connected to it. 3) Remove air intake box and tube. 4) At this point you can now install the air filter fan shield using the supplied M8 bolts. If you are using an OEM or Aftermarket intercooler pipe that still utilizes the mount on the battery tray remove the bolt and install the fan shield with the spacer in between the shield and intercooler pipe tab, tighten it down with the supplied longer M8 bolt. If you are using an Aftermarket intercooler pipe that doesn’t have the mount you will need to use the supplied longer spacer to space the fan shield away from the battery correctly. Refer to picture below. 5) Remove the backing from the battery tray and stick it into place. Then you can set the battery on it and install the battery cables at the angles shown. 6) You can now lay the battery into position and tie it down using the supplied tie down. This can be done using the OEM hook locations. You may have to remove some of the wire tie downs to allow the cables to move with the battery. 7) Install the turbo to intake custom silicone coupler onto the turbo, leave the clamps loose at this time. This coupler is to be routed underneath the fuel lines and engine harness. Be sure to completely seat the coupler onto the turbo.
Install the intake pipe and filter leaving the clamps loose for further adjustment. 9) Now at this time get the tube that connected the bypass valve to the intercooler piping and cut 1 in. off of one end as shown below*. The end that you cut goes to on the bypass valve, the other end to the intake.

PURPOSE The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor directly measures the mass of air flowing into the engine. LOCATION Between the air filter housing and throttle body assembly. CONSTRUCTION The sensing element is a thin platinum wire wound on a ceramic bobbin and coated with glass. OPERATION The MAF operates on the principle that if a mass is maintained at a constant temperature above ambient, the thermal loss is proportional to the mass flow of the cooling medium it is subjected to. The sensor output is a DC (analog) signal ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 volts used by the Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) to calculate fuel injector pulse width for stoichiometry (14.7 to 1). The “hot wire” is maintained at 392°F (200°C) above
