Take the old one out and put the new one in....it is really that simple

Oh, just be careful when removing the air conditioner tank that you don't crease any of the metal lines or break anything.

It's simple, although the duct may need a little coaxing to get it where you want it. There are no directions.

You slide it in. When you get everything taken out you will see how everything else is put in. Its not that complicated at all

The hardest part is getting the old one out. There are a bunch of bolts that hold it in, and the two under the stock intercooler are kinda hard to reach. I removed the stock cooler then removed the stock duct. It was imposible to get it out as one part. i'll post a link to some sugestions I have posted before under this for you. ( I have to find them)

Here is one I did a while back for somebody else.

Allright dang it. someone better sticky this,as it is a problem for all the M2 installs I have seen, even the ones installed at M2. Do this. The problem is that the crossover pipe:1 now goes to a slightly lower spot under the hood as before it went to the middle and highest point. 2 the pipe is not bent sharply enough. As the stock one has a 90 deg. sharp bend in it. The pipe now sits higher due to the coupler getting in the way of putting the pipe down low enough to get the position that the stock one is in. You need to carefully cut the coupler at a bias so the front (under the bend) is shorter than the rear. Do it slowly and cut a little off then more as needed so you don't cut too much and have no coupler. Basically if you look at the coupler head on it is flat across the top. You want to cut it so it slants down from one side. Only cut the side that couples to the crossover pipe. You then put the coupler onto the crossover pipe and see how much there is when it stops sliding up. If it looks like about the right amount so that the turbo outlet will contact the M2 crossover when you put it together (about 1and1/2 inch or so +/-) you're in good shape. Now hold the coupler on the M2 pipe so the bottom is flat and put the clamp on so it is just above the rib on the pipe. This may take a few tries as the coupler wants to slide off the pipe and get crooked. When you get it on there now put the pipe onto the turbo outlet. the pipe should now set lower and clear the brace.

Make sure that the fan wires are not under the intercooler duct too as this will cause it to set up a bit and short your wires to boot.
One more thing to check is a bolt on the frame brace that holds a clamp for a coolant line must be removed to get the intertcooler to set right.
The intercooler also can be moved in position slightly front to back and it will slightly change the height of the pipe. Just loosen the clamps and move it a bit. it will also help with the duct not lining up if you push the intercooler against it.
This now should cure one problem but the rubbing on the hood will still happen untill you take a mallet and some wood and LIGHTLY bang the pipe a bit flatter where it is rubbing on the hood. this is with the stock rad. and fans so some may not have the secondary problem.Also I have some rubber under the intercooler that sets it up just a bit which may be causing this.
