bro... be sure to put the metal bracket in as it orginally in... for some reason i put it in upside down... sure enough built maybe 10 pounds of boost and my dash had more lights than christmas... shut down on me and of course... scared the hell out of me... but you will love it! take the intake box out,frees up a lot of room to work with and when you remove the diverter valves be EXTREMELY gently with the rubber hosing because the nipple on the diverter valves are sooo easy to break... good luck it aint that bad
