4. Reassemble Vehicle
a. Position the tubes and couplers for the best fitment. Be sure that the tube or any other components do not con-
tact any part of the vehicle in appropriately.
b. Check for proper hood clearance. Re-adjust tubes if necessary and re-tighten them. Hose clamps should be
torqued to 30in-lbs.
c. Inspect the engine bay for any loose tools and check that all fasteners that were moved or removed are
properly tightened.
d. Ensure that the injection plugs were securely installed into the cold-side charge pipe if no accessories are to be
used there. Teflon thread sealant tape is recommended.
e. Reconnect negative battery terminal and start engine. Let the vehicle idle for 3 minutes. Perform a final
inspection before driving the vehicle.
5. Service and Maintenance
a. AEM Induction Systems requires cleaning the intake system’s air filter element every 100,000 miles. When
used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you
visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still
visible. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter element, it is
time to clean it. To clean, purchase our Synthetic air filter cleaner, part number 1-
1000 and follow the easy instructions.
b. Use window cleaner to clean your powder coated AEM
®
intake tube.
NOTE: DO NOT USE aluminum polish on powder coated AEM
®
intake tubes.

e. Install the hot-side charge pipe
assembly onto the turbo outlet and
intercooler inlet simultaneously. En-
sure that both couplers have ade-
quate engagement at the sealing sur-
faces. The hose clamps should t en-
rely onto the coupler and behind the
seal-bump features of the pipe. Rein-
stall the intake system and reconnect
the vent hose from the recirculaon
valve to intake tube being sure to fully
engage the spring clamps.
