STEP 02

Open and assemble

Place the supplied punch in the unused front-left manifold port; gently tap until its stop is reached. Separate the boost-tap halves and apply a tiny amount of supplied anti-seize to the body threads. Engage the base lip in the manifold-port groove. Hold the base and screw the body in clockwise, orienting it as needed. Hand-tighten only.

Connect the reference line

Secure the supplied hose to the tap using a supplied crimp clamp. Connection beyond that hose must follow the receiving gauge or sensor’s instructions. Restore removed intake components before operating the vehicle.
