 Inlet air temp sensor must...  Inlet air temp sensor must be removed from the factory ductwork. With the duct removed simply pull the sensor from its grommet so that it can be installed in the K & N air duct.  The solenoid bracket must...  The solenoid bracket must be removed by loosening the two bolts holding it to the factory air cleaner assembly. The wiring harness is then unclipped from the air cleaner as well.  After removing the crankcase...  After removing the crankcase vent line and the bolt holding the factory air box to the inner fender, the air box can be removed by pulling upwards.  With our original equipment...  With our original equipment removed we begin the installation of the cold air kit by installing the supplied L-bracket onto the solenoid bracket.  We start installing the ductwork...  We start installing the ductwork at the turbo with the flexible ducting provided in the kit. This is the tightest part of the installation. Snug the clamps until all of the pieces are in place then final tighten everything.  Before the metal ducting can...  Before the metal ducting can be installed, the edge trim supplied with the kit must be placed around the hole in the inner fender. This prevents vibrations from causing a rattle, or worse wearing through the metal duct work.  Our metal ducting can now...  Our metal ducting can now be installed and fed through the hole in the inner fender. Again, snug the clamps to hold everything in place but don't tighten them yet.  From under the car install...  From under the car install this Z bracket to the metal duct, then secure it to the hole in the inner fender with the provided hardware. The filter element and its protective Drycharger shield can now be installed.  With all of the new parts...  With all of the new parts in place, go back and tighten all of the clamps to secure the ducts. Double check that all fasteners are tightened and that the new parts don't interfere with any existing wires or hoses.  With the cold air intake system...  With the cold air intake system installed the difference is apparent. Not only did we see a substantial improvement in performance...  ...but the engine bay now...  ...but the engine bay now has a cleaner, less cluttered look.  The true test was at the drag...  The true test was at the drag strip. We were thoroughly impressed when we shaved two tenths of a second from our previous best elapsed time as well as increasing our eighth mile speed by two miles per hour. 9.38 seconds in the eighth mile from a little four cylinder isn't bad and will definitely make us a stop light contender even if a Hemi car pulls up next to us.
