While I was doing my spark plugs figured I'd take a few pictures so others know what needs to be done.
Assuming you know how to remove the stock air box, plenty of Vids and pictures out there.
I disconnected the ecu at first, but not needed, easily disconnects if need be. Just slide back the harness connected and it will back itself out.
Also not sure if the intakes fit with the oem coil insulation, so I removed mine and didn't use them.
After oem airboxes are removed you will have this Grap a 13mm open end and loosen the 2 front ecu plastic screws Once the 2 front nuts are loose, Pull up on ecu to disconnect from the rubber grommets Next remove the drivers side oem coupler. 2 flat head clamps and twist/pull the oem vent hose Apply some oil on the blackboost pipe so it slides in easier into the oem rubber coupler. Don't tighten it yet as u might need to make small adjustments when filters go on Be careful of the passanger side, I did not remove the oem coupler as I couldn't figure out how to remove the oem plastic vent hose, so I did it while it was on the car. Again with some oil on the coupler it slides in over the blackboost pipe without issue. Next install drivers side intake box and install intake pipe to turbo inlet pipe, a dab of oil will help slide it in easier Next put the oem air duct onto the blackboost box, again some oil will help slide it on easier. Same procedure on both sides. Remove the air box air sensor by unplugging the clip, rotate counter clockwise and pull out, same procedure on either side of the intake box. You will use the oem harness on the passanger side to connect to the blackboost system Lubricant the o ring on the sensor so it doesn't rip when pushing in, as pushing any rubber into a hole without lube will tear(giggity😏 Sensor installed, with the oem intake harness installed(passanger side) . Same procedure on drivers side (use supplied blackboost harness extension) Now in drivers side, use the supplied blackboost intake harness extension, connect it to the oem connection on the back and route it to the front, same procedure as before, lube the intake air sensor, stick it in the blackboost intake pipe , and connect everything When installing the filter, u might have to wiggle it in slightly hence why leaving the hose clamps loose will help. The intake fits light this over the pipe and clamps on. After you get this installed you can tighten everything up. Reinstall your ecu by clipping the back groumets first, then screwing in the 2 front 13mm plastic screws Finished product and ready for tuning!

did you get a check engine light ? I installed my kit same as you and immediately got a check engine light?

I got a check engine light right away too.
I unplugged the driver side sensor extension wire provided by Black Boost at the end near the ECU and rotated it 180 degrees and plugged it back in. Cleared the code and all is well.
Seems the extender can plug either way but only works one way. 50/50 shot getting it right the first time.

Codes:
brother sorry for the stupid question but what do you mean by rotating 180° ?? So I just twist the connector around 2 time them reinsert it ?? Do I have to find a way plug the hole in the rear of the filter housing ?

In the picture below the extender wire they provide,
Unplug it and “twist” it 1/2 a turn so the red wire ends up where black wire was.
The code won't just "go away" I had to clear it with a scanning tool. I used HP Tuners.
This is assuming both passenger and drivers sensors are installed and plugged in OK. If one of them is not see PeterUbers suggestion ^^^ make sure everything electrical is connected and no leaks in any of the pipes.

Which hole?
Just came across this video from BB while "researching" how much of an increase in intake sound you'd get. Figured I'd attach it on here.
