  1. Locate the factory BPV and remove the recirculation hose by squeezing down the hose clamp with your pliers.

        


  2. Remove the vacuum reference line from the rear port of the BPV




  3. Moving to the other side, unbolt the flange where it meets the turbo using a 12mm socket.

        


  4. Undo the hose clamp attaching the throttle body coupler to the intercooler.  This will typically require a phillips screwdriver, 7 or 8mm socket.




  5. Unbolt the remaining 12mm bolt going to the intercooler support bracket and remove the intercooler from the car.
