Please follow the ECU re-learn procedure on page 3 before driving on the road.

STEP 1: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

STEP 2: Remove the strut tower brace if applicable.

STEP 3: Remove the engine cover by pulling up on it to release its mounting pins from the grommets on the intake manifold.


STEP 4: ​Disconnect the smaller plastic breather tube from the air inlet tube. You can leave the sound tube connected.


STEP 5: Loosen the clamps on the air inlet tube at the air box and throttle body.

STEP 6: Remove the air inlet tube and set it aside.


STEP 7: Remove the four mounting bolts from the stock throttle body, as you remove the throttle body, flip it to unplug the motor plug on the bottom.


STEP 8: ​Wipe off the stock rubber throttle body gasket to remove any oil or debris. You will be reusing this gasket. Connect the motor plug to the BBK Throttle Body and install onto the intake manifold. Use supplied bolts to secure the throttle body.


STEP 9: ​Re-install the air inlet tube and reconnect the breather tube. A little WD-40 or light grease on the inside of the tube may help in this process. Tighten the clamps.


STEP 10: Re-install the engine decorative cover, the strut tower brace and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
