    I've been searching all over the web and nasioc for how to install this.

    Seems like it'd be easy to find for a "simple" mod like an IC hose. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Pull the IC, flip it upside down, remove 4 bolts, swap over Y-pipes. You might want some new gaskets depending on how many miles are on your car.

    Allright. I'm just wondering if I have the tools available to do it myself right now.

    23,000 miles on the car, assorted socket wrenches (metric of course), and uh, more stuff. Not really mine but a friend of mine keeps this stuff in the trunk of his BMW.

    no need to unbolt....just undo the 2 clamps on the back of your IC use 8mm socket or flat head screw driver will work.... and put the new prodrive one on and you are good to go.....about 15 min job.....hope that helps....

    So it came in. I just assumed that it would come with install instructions, but it totally didn't.

    Anyway, I'll let you all know how it goes when I put it in.

    I found these but the install was really self explanatory.

    Just remove the 2 bolts connected to the BPV, 2 on either side of the IC, and the 3 in front of it. Loosen the hose clamp on the throttle body and on the hose connected to the turbo itself beneath the IC.
    Tug the intercooler out, turn it upside down, and it's just obvious from there on out.

    The instructions were nice to get the specific sizes of the bolts, and if you're new (like me) it's very clear about the location of everything.
