I installed mine last night and it was a bit of a bear. The OEM air hose was either glued or melted onto the throttle body and it was the dickens to peel it off.

Is the removal of the battery cable a safety step or to reset the ECU? What happens if you don't reset the ECU?

darn, can't believe i missed it, hopefully another sale will come again soon. Question about installation, can i do it without a torque wrench, but use a regular drive ratchet?

Yes, I just torqued it by touch. BTW, you can get the intake off eBay for less than $250 shipped (GB from Sewell was $275 + shipping) using Microsoft Live Search Cashback. Do a search in the 2IS section to find out how.

How do you know when it's too tight, or not tight enough? Cool I'll check out the ebay microsoft cashback thing. Thanks!
