18. Getting close! Now adjust the intake tube so that the air filter end cap rests right in the rounded edge on far side of the snorkel gasket (figure 22). This is the location that tested best in our CFD modeling and evenly distributes the incoming airflow around the entire surface of the filter (this is key!). Now, tighten that hose clamp until snug as well (figure 23).

19. Connect the MAF harness connector to the MAF sensor (figure 24).

20. All clamps should now be tightened. Next, we’ll reinstall the PCV system as shown using the included hose and clamp (figure 25).

21. We’ll be installing the lid next, so now is a good time to double check everything and ensure that the MAF wire isn’t at risk of touching your accessory belt. The stock clip should keep it safe. If you happen to have the GrimmSpeed pulley cover, you may need to use a zip tie to secure the wire farther forward and prevent it from chaffing on the cover.

22. Lastly, use the six machine screws and washers to install the lid. Install them all loosely before going back to tighten them using your 4mm allen wrench (figure 26). Depending on the order in which you install them, you may need to push on the box a bit for a perfect fit. Just use care not to cross-thread any of the bolts and you’ll be just fine!

23. If you’d like, you can reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery, hitting the brake pedal and then reconnecting. Before restarting the car, turn the key to the ‘on’ position and fully press and release the gas pedal 5 times. Turn the car off and then back to the ‘on’ position. Press and release the pedal 5 more times. Turn the car off and then start the car. This will help reduce the amount of time you need to wait until your throttle response returns to normal.

24. Now go and enjoy your new intake (figure 27)!

That’s it! You should be all set to go. Check the assembly periodically to make sure everything is still snug. This intake works very well with no tuning, but to extract its full potential, tuning is always a great option.
