This kit requires the battery to be relocated as well as a

stand-up/vertical radiator modification. Once those 2 are

complete proceed to the following steps.

Before installing the kit, it is recommended to loosely

clamp the Blow off valves to Intercooler Pipe D (Part M)

and the wastegates to the Crossover pipe (Part C). They

can be oriented whichever direction necessary when on

the car and then tightened. Wastegate exits should be

aimed down towards the ground.

Step 1: Remove Cat-back, y-pipe, and manifolds/headers if applicable.

Step 2: Remove front bumper cover and crash bar/support.

Step 3: Bolt on drivers and passengers side manifolds (Parts A and B)

using 12 H1 bolts and 12 H2 washers. Do not tighten bolts at this time.

Step 4: Connect the crossover pipe (Part C) using the 2.5" V-Band

Clamps (Part D). Make sure V-Band Flanges are flush, than tighten V-

Band Clamps (Part D). You may now tighten the manifolds (Parts A and

B) to the heads.

Step 5: Install Turbo to Crossover pipe (Part C) using the Gasket

included with the kit (Part FF) and 4 M10 Bolts (H8) and 8 M10 washers

(Part H10).

Step 6: Install Turbo Drain Bracket (Part R) to turbo drain with 2 M8

Bolts (Part H3) and 2 M8 Washers (Part H2). In order for the bottom of

the bracket to line up to the lowest alternator OEM Bolt, the turbo may

need to be "Clocked". This is done by slightly loosening the large V-

Band Clamps on both sides of the Turbo and spinning the center section

where it needs to be. When this is done, tighten the "Hot side"/exhaust

housing of the Turbo, but leave the "Cold side"/compressor side loose

as there may need to be adjustments to this side when the intercooler

pipes are installed. Once this is completed, use the bottom OEM

Alternator bolt to attach the Oil Drain Bracket (Part R) to the engine to

help support the weight of the Turbo.

Step 7: Install Downpipe (Part E) to turbo with Downpipe Clamp (Part

Ee)

Step 8: Drill and Tap Oil Pan for Drain line. We recommend drilling 3.5"

above the center of the oil Drain bolt. It is also recommended to do so

with the oil pan off of the motor but can be done on the car if necessary.

If drilling and tapping the oil pan on the motor, be sure to use a lot of

grease on the bit and tap to catch metal shavings as well as be sure to

change oil before initial startup. Tap for 1/2"NPT and screw in 1/2"NPT

to -10an fitting included with the kit. You can now install the Turbo Drain

Line (Part Q) to oil pan and Turbo Drain Bracket (Part R).

Step 9: Drill and Tap Oil Feed Block for Oil Feed Line (Part P). The Oil

Fees Block can be found directly above the Oil Filter. Remove the 2

10mm bolts and save the Gasket for later. You will than drill and tap the

top of this Block to 1/8"NPT and install the 1/8"NPT to -4an fitting and

reinstall the Block with the OEM Bolts and Gasket. Install Oil Feed Line

(Part P) and run line to top of motor. Install remaining -4an fitting to top

of turbo and tight other end of Oil Fees Line (Part P) to this fitting.

Step 10: Install Upper Intercooler Bracket (Part G) with 2 M10 Bolts

(Part H9), 4 M10 Washers (Part H10), and 2 M10 Nuts (Part H11) to the

top bolt holes of the end of the frame rails where the crash bar was

bolted.

Step 11: Install Lower Intercooler Bracket (Part H) with 1 M10 Bolt (Part

H9), 2 M10 Washers (Part H10), and 1 M10 Nut (Part H11) to the right

lower bolt hole of the passenger side Frame rail. On the driver's side,

you will notice the corresponding hole is smaller. Here you will use 1 M8

Bolt (Part H1), 2 M8 Washers (Part H2), 1 M8 Lock washer (Part H4)

and 1 M8 Nut (Part H5).

Step 12: Install intercooler (Part I) to the upper and lower brackets

using 4 M8 Bolts (Part H6) and 4 M8 Washers (Part H7). Leave

mounting bolts loose at this time for left to right adjustment.

Step 13: Install discharge pipe Gasket/O-Ring (Part N) to Intercooler

Pipe A (Part J). You can than install it to the discharge end of the Turbo

using it's corresponding V-Band Clamp (Part O).

Step 14: Install Intercooler Pipe B (Part K) to Intercooler Pipe A using

the 2.5" coupler (Part S) and 2 2.5" Clamps (Part X). The other end will

be connected to the intercooler on the driver's side using 1 2.5" to 3"

coupler (Part T), 1 2.5" Clamp (Part X), and 1 3" Clamp (Part Z).

At this point, you can now tighten the compressor V-Band Clamp on the

Turbo that you loosened when "Clocking" the Turbo. You also may

tighten the 4 intercooler bolts.

Step 15: Install Intercooler Pipe C (Part L) to the Passenger side of the

intercooler with the 3" to 3.5" coupler (Part U), 1 3" Clamp (Part Z), and

1 3.5" Clamp (Part Aa). The opposite end will connect to Intercooler

Pipe D (Part M) with 1 3.5" Coupler (Part V) and 2 3.5" Clamps (Part

Aa).

Step 16: Use Throttle Body Coupler (Part W) and 1 3.5" Clamp (Part

Aa) and Throttle Body Clamp (Part Bb) to connect Intercooler Pipe D

(Part M) to the throttle body.

Step 17: Partially reinstall front bumper so that the Passenger side sits

exactly where it would normally sit. Use a paint marker or equivalent to

trace where your bumper exit downpipe hole will need to be. Find the

center of this circle and using a small drill bit, drill the center hole from

inside of the bumper cover. Next, on the outside of the bumper, cover

the area you will be drilling with masking tape to help protect your paint

and make a clean cut. Using the appropriate size Hole saw Bit, drill from

the outside of the bumper using the small hole for your center pilot hole.

Step 18: Finish reinstallation of front bumper cover and install

Downpipe Tip (Part Cc) with corresponding Downpipe Tip Clamp (Part

Dd).
