here it is all done, after i did the simple green i let it run and dry off then sprayed it down with turtle wax foaming tire shine

I see your truck still has the orange turbo inlet hose. Keep a good eye on that they can tear at the clamps and let in dirt.

I have the orange one too. Is there an upgrade for that?

 

[Tom S]

It is a complete kit that replaces the boot, the aluminum CCV piece, the brackets and the clamps. I can track down a part number if you need it.

 

[psdguy95]

Yes please.

 

[Tug]

You don't need to get the update kit. Its a waste IMO. I have this and it works great!

thanks for the heads up! where do they usually tear? ive had it off a time or two and didnt notice anything but that doesnt mean it isnt there

on edit: i realize you said at the clamps. ill give them a check the rest of the engine is in perfect condition for 210k. nobody likes a dirty engine

That is the exact same kit K&N uses for their intake systems.
