This is all done by member WTEX, thanks for the detailed write up on the install!!!!
Take off negative terminal on battery and set aside (10mm socket).
Step 1. Take off rubber intake boot. Freeing the filter box from Cold air tube. Do not throw away for you will be re-using this piece.
Step 2. Take off both filter box bolts. 1 in the front and 1 on the side (10mm socket).
Step 3. Loosen clamp holding filter box to flex hose (7/32 socket or phillips head).
Step 4. Before removing the filter box. Unsnap Mass Air Sensor, unplug green pop pin from MassAir and box. Lay over brake reservoir (out of the way).
Step 5. Remove the filter box. Pull hard since the back of the box is snapped in. You wont break it. Be careful not to smash the cold air tube once the box pops free.
With the box removed you now have plenty of room to work.
Step 6. (3 part step) Remove the top two hose clamps in white and unhook the hoses. Remove the bottom two hose clamps in red and REMOVE the hose. You will loose a little bit of coolant. Do not worry. You will also not be re-using this hose. Loosen the rear clamp holding flex hose to throttle body.
Step 7. Remove flex hose from throttle body and lay out of the way. You have plenty of flexibility in the hose connected to it. Unsnap connector on top of throttle body and on the back side towards firewall. Set aside out of the way.
Step 8. Remove 4 bolts holding throttle body in place (12mm socket). U do not need to remove hose or clamp on top of throttle body.
Step 9. Remove throttle body and lay next to flex hose. Make sure nothing falls inside of the intake.
Step 10. Leave the bright orange Oring in the factory adapter plate.
Step 11. Place the TBSpacer directly on the adapter plate. (the o-ring will help seal the spacer to the plate.)
Step 12. Place gasket and on top of the TBSpacer. Then re-install throttle body.
Step 13. Re-install throttle body using longer screws (13mm socket). I placed a small amount of LockTight on mine. Do not over tighten the screws. Just make sure there is no gap between throttle body, gasket and spacer once tight. Hand tighten with socket and then half a turn should do.
Step 14. Start re-installing and connecting all factory connectors. U will need to install a longer hose where you discarded the one in step 6 (annotated in red). Since it needs to be ¾-1” longer now. Put back all hose clamps and tighten all clamps to the throttle body and filter box. Make sure you re install the Mass air sensor harness to the filter box.
Final step. Attach the rubber intake boot to the filter box and cold air tube. Then tighten the negative terminal back onto the battery.
