[QUOTE="Tob, post: 10007007, member: 83412"] After reading everything relevant to the install at least three times, I dove into the install yesterday afternoon. It was not without a few twists and turns.:dw: I started by flipping the blower over and peeling off the protective "Gorilla Tape" so that I could dab some RTV into the adapter plate holes. [ATTACH=full]102144[/ATTACH] And since I notice everything, I wondered why there was some residual adhesive-like goo emanating from the machined hole in the baseplate that leads to the bypass actuator. I cleaned off the excess. [ATTACH=full]102145[/ATTACH] Looks like the housing was cast on 5/26/09 and I'm not sure what dimension (clearance?) the notation on the rotor is calling out. [ATTACH=full]102146[/ATTACH] Anyhow, the O-ring on the intake manifold runs across the bolts that are recessed into the blower itself through the baseplate. There is the possibility of pressurized air to escape via this juncture so I did as recommended and started RTV'ing. [ATTACH=full]102147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102149[/ATTACH] After the "dabs" setup, I sliced off the excess with a razor (note- there is more RTV to come). Since I like getting the PIA stuff out of the way first, I followed Chris' recommendation to remove the battery and tray in order to access the EGR tube which must be switched out. It runs from the passenger side exhaust manifold up to the EGR valve itself. It winds through a labyrinth of wiring, etc, I wanted to get this one out of the way early. [ATTACH=full]102150[/ATTACH] An 8mm deepwell socket makes easy work of it. [ATTACH=full]102151[/ATTACH] I don't see how you could do it with taking the battery and tray out. [ATTACH=full]102152[/ATTACH] A WD40 can with the extended tip made placement rather simple. A light shot just above the nut so it would run downward along the threads. I gave it a couple of minutes. [ATTACH=full]102153[/ATTACH] While waiting, I moved on to slipping the blower belt off. In order to gain access to the tensioner you need to move the left coolant tank out of the way. [ATTACH=full]102154[/ATTACH] A breaker bar, 1/2" to 3/8" adapter, and a short 3/8" extension fits perfectly. Rotate clockwise. [ATTACH=full]102155[/ATTACH] Back to the EGR tube, up top. Since I didn't have the requisite open ended wrench, I used a 12" Crescent instead. [ATTACH=full]102156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102157[/ATTACH] Moving over to the driver side for the pull. Leverage made it easy, as it cracked loose with little effort. [ATTACH=full]102158[/ATTACH] I used the same 12" Crescent at the manifold connection. Much easier than I would have thought as it came right off. [ATTACH=full]102159[/ATTACH] I removed the FRPP CAI I previously installed. Simple. [ATTACH=full]102160[/ATTACH] Sticking with intake tract removal, an 8mm deep well, removing a few electrical connectors, and wala. [ATTACH=full]102161[/ATTACH] Very little oil in either the TB or the blower. [ATTACH=full]102162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102163[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
