It took me good 3 hours. I finished it at 4:30........this morning! Then I drove around the neighborhood. OMG! It sounds soooo sweet. I felt like I needed to tip-toe cuz I did not want to wake people up...then the BOV went PSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHT! :shock: :twisted:
Things I learned (assuming I did it right):
* install the air sensor with the rubber grommet before mounting the pipe. I installed the rubber piece after I placed the pipe in place and the rubber fell inside the pipe. I had to take the clamps and pipe off again, which is a bit of a work.
* Over-tighten the large hose clamps and they will snap! I ruined one.
* I did not have to take the turbo inlet pipe off. Just had to remove one side (the end next to the airbox.)
* while under there removing the stock presure pipe, don't put your face right under it cuz oil will drip on ya! Yup ! I had an oil mask all night long all over my face.
* the ATP kit comes with a looooong silicone line. I did not cut mine to length but loop it at some area away from the heated components making sure of no hard twists and turns for smooth flow.
* I had to loosen the font bolt of the airbox, disconnected few connector (one by the bypass valve on the valve cover, and one on the TB). This gave me more room to work with.
* when done, take your time on checking stuff you moved/unplugged around. I found out that I needed to reconnect the negative terminal back onto the battery before I could even start the car. That was a brainer!!!
* Flat head was harder to use than correct size socket.
Pics later.
