O. The installation of this supercharger system
requires the removal, in part or whole, of the
intake manifold so that modifications can be made
to the coolant crossover tube or thermostat hous-
ing depending on year of application:
1. (2005-2006 Only) Unplug the wire connec-
tors from each of the eight injectors. Remove
all of the vacuum hoses and connectors locat-
ed at the front and rear of the intake manifold.
Remove the connector attached to the intake
manifold runner control (IMRC) unit located at
the rear of the manifold on the passeger’s
side.
2. (2007-2010 Only): Unplug the wire connec-
tors from each of the eight injectors.
3. Remove the four 8mm headed bolts securing
the injector rails to the intake manifold. Do not
remove the small clips that retain the injectors
to the fuel rails. Using a 5/8" spring lock tool,
disconnect the fuel feed line from the fuel rail.
Remove the vacuum line from the fuel regula-
tor. Remove the rails and injectors as a com-
plete unit and set aside. New injectors will be
installed in a later step. (See Figs. 1-i, 1-j.)
4. Locate and remove the remaining 10mm
headed bolts retaining the intake manifold to
the cylinder heads. There are five on each
side.
5. (2005-2006 Only): Remove the intake mani-
fold and set aside so it can be reinstalled after
modifications to the coolant crossover tube
are made.
