IMPORTANT, READ THIS FIRST: Study these instructions completely before proceeding. Engine and/or turbocharger damage may occur if any component within these instructions is improperly installed. Turbonetics, Inc. or any of its distributors cannot be held responsible for damages as a result of negligent or improper installation. This complete turbocharger system can be installed using common tools and automotive procedures, but installer must have a thorough knowledge of automotive engine operation and feel comfortable working on the vehicle.

Remove the turbocharger kit from its carton and inspect for any obvious physical damage. All kit components are thoroughly inspected and carefully packaged prior to shipment from the factory. If any shipping damage is evident, contact your supplier and request that they process a claim with the shipper involved. Be sure to review the Turbo System Parts List to verify that you have all necessary kit components to proceed. If any components in the parts list are missing, contact Turbonetics, Inc. Customer Service department.

Plenty of adjacent available workspace
The ability to lift the vehicle (at least a foot or two off the ground)
Replacement oil pan gasket or RTV sealant, oil filter and engine coolant
NPT thread sealant tape
