4. Remove the (2) pop clips that hold the intake duct onto
the upper core support, then remove the duct from the
vehicle.
5. Some may find it easier to access things by removing the
passenger side radiator fan. This can be done by locating
the small grey electrical connector on the lower passenger
side radiator fan. Next disconnect the electrical connector
by pinching the plastic spring clip in and pull the connector
free.

7. Next using a ⅜”, 3” long extension, ratchet and 12mm
socket remove the (2) 12mm bolts that hold the boost pipe
to the turbo. Then using an 8mm socket loosen the clamp
that holds the blow off valve. This can be done from above
or below the car. If removing from underneath the car
remove the OEM belly pan.
(Optional) Some find this easier: You can leave the BOV
attached to the boost pipe and release the pinch clamp on
the inlet and remove the BOV with the boost pipe.
