Well... It should be pretty straight forward. It should only be able to go on one way.

It should bolt right in, unless you didn't get the TB elbow that comes with it, in which case, good luck.

It comes with a special throttle body inlet that replaces the stock one. It is larger and has a different angle than the stock one to match the hks tmic outlet. Do you have a s4 or s5 car?

Your missing the elbow piece , it looks like the stock but 90 degree up sort of squished.

I would recommend taking off the stock one, lay the HKS intercooler ontop and see how much of an angle you need. Then make a hole and make a piping out of emptly toilet rolls till you get it ot match the HKS unit.

then bring it to a tigwelder.
