Still need to install mine. Any tips or tricks for the MAF sensors or any other parts of the install?


Also. did you notice any louder turbo spool noises or improved response/performance characteristics?

Yeh u can hear turbos spool and wastgates working now actually sounds like a turbo engine. Throttle seems more responsive also. U can tell its breathing alot better. Maf sensors are glue into rubber boot I had to slice it to get off got sick of fighting it. If you cant pull airflow sensor out of manifold disconnect wiring harness then once u remove old intake you can twist and push out from the inside. There is a clearance issues on left side when looking at engine I had to cut a screw down to clear filter. Lube up the adapter where maf sensor go it's pretty tight

Just used wd40 and wiped clean so it doesnt mess with sensors. Didnt take Watergate hose all the way off yet as you cant get pliers in without taking off a few shrouds couldn't be bothered.
