Well we finished up the install and took it for a drive. After a decently hard drive the Manifolds were warm to the touch, not hot at all.

The install only took about 2 hours and was much easier then expected.

Here is a brief step by step with some pics. I'll try and get this into a PDF ASAP.


You need to remove the top manifold by removing the 6 bolts on each side.
From ther disconnect the TB wire and vaccuum hoses going into the back of the manifold. There is one hard silver pipe and one thick black tube.
Unplug the injectors and undo the fuel rail. You can leave the fuel line connected and just move the rail out of the way.
Remove AIR pumps and tubing. Remove bracket holding Intercooler lines together. (last pic)
You will then need to remove the belt and pull off the idler pulley on the SC. Once this is complete you can lift the SC up and slide the spaers in place.

This is much easier then removing the SC from the car. Downside is that you will need at least two people.

If I forgot something I apologize, this is from memory.
