10. AIR INLET

A. Using the supplied 1/4-20 hardware, mount

the MAF meter to the Vortech MAF bracket

and secure (see Fig. 10-a for orienta-

tion).

B. Attach the supplied K & N air filter, 3-1/2”

sleeve, 90° 3-1/2” elbow and #56 hose

clamps to the MAF and secure.

C. Insert the factory air temperature sensor

into the rubber grommet located on the

side of the 90° elbow. Lubricate for easier

fit.

D. Working from beneath the vehicle, remove

the two factory nuts and washers from

the passenger side lower fender valence.

Mount the MAF/bracket assembly onto the

existing studs using the same washers and

nuts originally removed (see Fig. 10-a).

E. Using a #52 hose clamp, connect the piece

of 3-1/2” flex hose to the elbow attached

to the MAF meter and route it through the

opening in the passenger side inner fender

toward the supercharger.

F. Route the factory temperature sensor and

MAF sensor connectors out through the

inner fender opening. Reattach the con-

nectors to the relocated sensors.

9. AIR PUMP RELOCATION

A. Unplug all wiring to the air pump located inside

of the passenger side inner fender. Remove the

entire air pump assembly, including the bracket,

from the vehicle. Cut and remove the clamp hold-

ing the discharge hose to the pump. Remove the

hose.

B. Remove the air pump and module from the

bracket. Remount both pieces onto the sup-

plied mounting bracket with the 10-24 and

1/4-20 hardware provided (see Fig. 9-a).

C. Install the air pump assembly with the new bracket

onto the vehicle using the original location and

hardware. The pump now has a slightly different

orientation, but will still accommodate the factory

wiring and hoses without modification.
