14. Remove the protective cap on the throttle body of the GrimmSpeed TMIC as
well as the protective seal on the BOV flange. Slip the GrimmSpeed throttle
body coupler over your throttle body and loosely place the two large t-bolt
clamps over it. You’ll also need to choose whether you’d prefer to run a t-bolt
or worm gear clamp on your compressor housing. The worm gear is an easier
install and both should work just fine; it’s a matter of personal preference.
Place that clamp loosely over the coupler as well. (In this photo, I’ve chosen
to slip the second throttle body clamp on afterwards. You may choose to do
the same if you have trouble getting the TMIC into position.

15. Grab your TMIC assembly by the mounting tabs and get it into position. We
recommend tipping the TMIC towards you as shown and then working your
two coupler points into position. Get the 90 degree coupler over your
compressor housing, keeping an eye on the throttle body coupler. After
you’ve got the coupler started on the turbo, you should be able to maneuver
the TMIC onto the throttle body. Make sure the coupler is seated all the way
around, not folded in at any point. On the turbo side, you will need to
maneuver your chosen clamp into place over the coupler.
