STEP 02

Set the bracket locations

Temporarily refit the intercooler. Use the supplied M8x16 upper bolt and M8x30 lower bolt, plus the original mounting hardware. Tighten the bracket-to-intercooler bolts to locate the brackets, then remove the intercooler again. Torque all four throttle-body M6 bolts to 6 ft-lb.

STEP 03

Make the final connection

Return the retaining clip to its engagement position and reinstall the intercooler, checking that it locks into the charge pipe. Torque all M8 bolts to 12 ft-lb. Restore the strut bar. Check smooth idle and secure plumbing before a gentle drive.
