LEGAL DISCLAIMER & COMPLIANCE

OFF-ROAD USE ONLY: This high-performance racing component is engineered exclusively for competition or sanctioned off-road use. It does not comply with federal or local emissions laws for highway operation. Installation on any vehicle registered for public roads is strictly prohibited. The end-user assumes all legal liability and risk associated with the installation and use of this product.

PHASE 1: DISASSEMBLY & PREPARATION

Step 1: CAC Tube Removal

  1. Intake Protection: Remove the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) intake pipe.

    • Caution: Even microscopic debris can cause catastrophic damage to the turbocharger compressor blades. Ensure the turbo inlet remains covered and protected throughout this procedure.

  2. Connector Release: Pull the spring clip until it seats in the quick-connect release pawl. Release the clamp and extract the CAC intake pipe from the engine bay.

Step 2: Fuel System Clearance

  1. Disconnect and remove the fuel filter outlet tube.

  2. Disconnect the fuel filter inlet tube and the injector return tube.

  3. Remove and discard the factory left-side fuel supply tube bolts (new hardware is recommended for reassembly).

Step 3: CCV Oil Separator Extraction

  1. Hose Disconnection: Release the retaining tabs/clips on the factory oil separator outlet hose. Disconnect the hose from the lower intake manifold.

    • Tech Tip: Place a shop towel or lint-free cloth under the unit to catch residual oil drainage during removal.

  2. Unit Removal: Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the factory CCV oil separator assembly from the engine block.

PHASE 2: CATCH CAN INSTALLATION

Step 4: Surface Preparation & Mounting

  1. Cleaning: Meticulously clean any old oil residue or debris from the breather port at the rear of the engine.

  2. Installation: Position the new high-performance unit onto the breather port where the OEM assembly was previously located.

  3. Torque Specification: Install the two mounting bolts and torque them evenly to 96 lb-in (11 Nm).

Step 5: Catch Can Integration

  1. Slide the CCV Catch Can downward into the designated valve cover aperture.

  2. Connect the Venturi tube to the CCV Catch Can inlet, ensuring a secure and airtight fitment.

PHASE 3: REASSEMBLY & INITIALIZATION

Step 6: Component Restoration

  1. Reinstall the fuel filter and bracket assembly. Secure and tighten all mounting hardware to factory specifications.

  2. Install the new fuel injection pump supply tube assembly bracket and secure the new left-side fuel supply tube bolts.

  3. Reconnect the fuel filter injector return tube and the inlet tube.

  4. Reinstall the fuel filter outlet tube and the CAC intake pipe.

    • Final Audit: Inspect the turbocharger and engine air intake system for absolute cleanliness before final seating.

Step 7: Battery & Fuel System Priming

  1. Reconnect the vehicle batteries.

  2. Critical Step: Bleed the fuel system according to OEM procedures to remove air pockets from the lines.

    • Warning: Failure to bleed the system properly can lead to high-pressure fuel pump (CP4) damage.

POST-INSTALLATION ADVISORY

  • Fuel Priming: Cycle the ignition to the "Run" position (without cranking) multiple times to allow the lift pump to prime the system.

  • Maintenance: Periodically check the catch can reservoir and drain accumulated oil to maintain optimal system performance.
