Removing Stock Intercooler and Blow Off Valve

Before starting work on the car; make sure the car is secure on the lift or jack stands

Remove the 2 12mm bolts hold the BOV in place

Remove the 10mm bolts holding the black hard line in place

Take off the BOV and leave the hard line loosely in place

Remove the sound tube bracket as there is a mounting bolt underneath on the passenger side of the car

All the other bolts are fairly accessible; recommend to use deep sockets and various length socket extenstions

There are 2 more mounting bolt on the rear of the intercooler that must be removed; it is NOT pictured

Loosen hose clamps on the silicone coupler for the Turbo and Throttle body

Using a flat head screw driver carefully loosen the couplers

You can use a 90deg pick and run it around the outside edges of the coupler help free it

Silicone spray is also very helpful

Carefully remove the intercooler some wiggling will be required
