Rebuild the intake

Remove the lid/tube and filter. Fit the supplied filter; separate the stock tube and refit the lid. Fit 08699 at the throttle body and 08760 at the airbox; reconnect MAF. Fit the tube connections hand-tight plus two turns; use plug 08032 where EVAP is absent. Clamp the tube, reconnect each hose, refit the cover and display the supplied emissions label.
