Default Not a big deal

Take the plenum out and move the coolant reservoir out of the way for better access. You will have to stick your hands down there and work the wire connectors through the maze of wires and hoses. I had to snip a few cable ties. Half an hour should be enough time, all in all.

Now, if you want to re-route the wires back under the IM, you could do it with the aid of a stiff wire, but I think you'll lose some skin and nerves. ;-) The wires will come out from under the IM near the TB, and the area is really tight and crammed with wires, brackets, hoses etc.

Default Thanks!

Since I'm running Mance's S3 hose kit, I don't have the stock plenum. Should make life easier.

Default In that case you won't even have to take the hose of the TB!

The plenum is always in the way working on the engine.

Default Great, maybe a project for next Sunday. I want to get my summer tires put back on, too.

Driving on these winter tires is getting annoying!
