Vortech 1996-2004 Ford 4.6 Mustang GT - Manual (Page 31)

NOTE: 1996-2001 models use the 90°
x 3-1/2" plastic inlet elbow with
the hole and grommet in the
side. 2002+ models use the 90°
x 3-1/2" plastic elbow without
any hole in the side. Both
elbows have been supplied.
NOTE: 2002-2004 models do not have
a separate IAT sensor.
A. Using the supplied 1/4-20 hardware,
mount the MAF meter to the Vortech
MAF bracket and secure. (See Fig.
10-a). Remove the factory MAF screen
before attaching the meter to the new
bracket.
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.
(1996-2001 models only.)
C. (1996-2001 Models only) 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’s 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 right side
inner fender toward the supercharger.
Make sure the 3-1/2" flex hose does not
contact or rub on the edge of the inner
fender opening. (Eventual hose failure
will result if the hose is not properly
routed.)
F. Route the factory temperature sensor
and MAF sensor connectors out through
the inner fender opening. Re-attach the
connectors to the relocated sensors.
