L15-6-318 Hybrid Intake

First and foremost; THANK YOU for becoming a part of the 27WON Family. We hope to REDEFINE your experience of the aftermarket with the highest level Parts, Customer Service, Packaging, & Support

This guide describes a process to install your new Hybrid Cold Air Intake

Handle the Airbox lid with care so as not to scratch it

Open the hood to gain access to the intake air box

Unplug the connector for MAF sensor using your fingers

Use a 5.5mm socket and 3/8" ratchet or a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the clamp circled in red

Tube should be able to freely pull off the turbo inlet pipe

Use a 3/8" drive ratchet and a 10mm socket to remove two (2) bolts that holds the intake duct

Image shows airbox lid removed but that is not necessary

Use a panel clip tool to remove one (1) clip

Plastic clip breaks very easily. Use Caution

Use a 3/8" drive ratchet and a 10mm socket to remove the bolt to intake bracket as shown

Intake shown without lid and filter for clarity

Use a 3/8" rachet, a long extension, and a 10mm socket to remove lower intake bolt as shown

Wiggle the airbox and pull it up at the same time to loosen the airbox from the rubber bushing

This can be a PITA and you can get hurt when it breaks loose. Use Caution

Once you free the intake assembly from the bushing mount, it will easily come out of the car

Set the bushing aside for later use

Use a 3/8" drive ratchet and a 10mm socket to remove two (2) bolts that hold the intake bracket in place

Use caution when pulling the second bolt, once it's loose the bracket will drop straight into the engine bay!

Remove the bracket from the engine bay

Using you hand or a pair of pliers pinch the sides of the plastic clips holding the hood latch wire in place and lift to remove them

Tuck the wire under the headlight mounting plate as shown

Place your airbox in the orientation shown

Using the provided two (2) short M5 cap screws mount the lower bracket in the orientation shown

Using a 3mm hex bit, tighten the M5 cap screws until snug

Install previously removed bushing as shown

Place airbox in engine bay as shown

Press airbox down to mount the lower bracket over the bushing as shown

This is shown with the 27WON TIP (Turbo Inlet Pipe). The process is similar for the OE TIP with the difference being the TIP silicone and the T-bolt clamp to secure it

Failure to align the silicone correctly will cause the intake not to fit well

Verify the airbox mounting holes can be aligned as shown

Place provided TIP silicone onto the TIP as shown and push it fully onto the TIP

Align TIP silicone with the airbox silicone mounted on the airbox as shown

This requires a combination of rotating the silicone as well as wiggling it around to get the correct alignment

Using the provided 95-103mm T-bolt clamp for 27WON TIP or 70-78mm T-bolt clamp for OE TIP secure the silicone to the TIP without changing it's orientation from the step before

Orient the clamp so it will not hit the hood as shown

If you can't rotate the clamp enough to avoid hood interference then flip the clamp to be oriented as shown

Firmly lift the back side of the airbox to pop the lower bracket off of the mounting bushing

Remove the airbox from the engine bay

Using a 10mm socket remove the 83-91 T-bolt clamp on the airbox

Remove the airbox silicone as shown

Install MAF housing into the previously mounted TIP silicone in the orientation shown

Note the rotation of the MAF housing, this is important to ensure there is no tension on your MAF sensor wire

Install airbox silicone onto the MAF housing

Using two included 70-78mm T-bolt clamps and a 10mm socket secure the silicone on either side of the MAF housing as shown

Make sure the MAF is fully seated in the silicone

While installing the airbox be mindful of the right side of the inlet, this part can easily be damaged by the engine bay if you aren't careful

Using your hand lift the silicone stack up as shown to create space for the airbox

While lowering the airbox into the engine bay, press the airbox silicone onto the airbox as shown

You'll have to do this slowly and carefully to avoid hitting the ECU

Press the lower mounting bracket onto the bushing like before

With the airbox in the engine bay, loosen the 95-103 T-bolt clamp on the TIP and push the TIP silicone onto the TIP as far as possible

Using a 10mm socket re-tighten the 95-103 T-bolt clamp

Use the provided 83-91mm T-bolt clamp secure the silicone stack up onto the airbox as shown

Align the mounting holes on the airbox inlet with the threaded holes as shown

You may need to move the airbox towards the passenger side of the car to get these holes to align properly

Thread the provided 20mm long M6 bolts and rubber washers into the airbox inlet mounting holes as shown

Using a 10mm socket tighten the M6 bolts until snug as shown

Do not overtighten these two bolts. The intake should not bind up here

Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove both screws securing MAF sensor to OE Intake

Use care when handling this sensor. It should not be dropped, abused, or otherwise gotten dirty

Gently install MAF Sensor in provided MAF housing using the provided socket cap screws and a 3mm hex wrench or bit

You should be able to press MAF sensor into the bore by hand. Do so evenly

This install process is shown with a painted shroud. The process is similar for a carbon fiber shroud

We do recommend exercising much more caution when installing a carbon fiber shroud

Be careful with your tools while installing the shroud, it is very easy to scratch your shroud with a tool and is not easy to fix

There are lots of sharp edges throughout the engine bay that could also scratch your carbon fiber or chip the edges if you aren't cautious

We have provided a lens cloth to wipe down your carbon fiber shroud after install. Use a non-abrasive cleaner as needed

Using a 3mm hex bit remove the four (4) countersink screws from the airbox as shown

Remove the airbox gasket as shown

Line up the gasket on the bottom side of the airbox shroud as shown

While holding the gasket in place, push the QTY(4) countersink screws through the top of the shroud and the gasket as shown

The holes on the gasket should be small enough to hold both the screws and the gasket in place

With the screws and gasket attached place the shroud onto the airbox in the orientation shown

Slight pushing to align the holes is ok. You should not have to apply a lot of force to get the shroud to align with the box

Hand thread each of the 4 screws a couple of threads, one screw at a time

You will likely have to move the shroud and the gasket around to get all 4 holes lined up

Once all 4 screws are slightly threaded by finger use a 3mm hex bit to tighten the lid down in a star pattern. Do a couple rotations at a time then move to the next screw. Do this until the screws are fully seated

You will need to repeat the star pattern multiple times threading each screw a turn or two at a time to ensure the shroud seats properly on the airbox

The properly installed shroud should appear as shown

The right side of the shroud should have ~2mm gap along its edge as shown

It doesn't cause a problem if the clearance in this area is minimal

The back side should sit ~1 cm above wiring loom as shown

The shroud may sit on top of the fuse box as shown. This is ok

Plug your MAF sensor back in as shown

Make sure MAF wiring is not pulled tight. If it is, loosen the clamps and rotate the MAF housing towards the firewall

At the end of this install you will have one extra clamp, this is to ensure you can install your intake whether you have an OE or 27won turbo inlet pipe

This intake is designed to be ran with, and without the shroud. If you're craving the sounds of an SRI pop the top off and enjoy!

This completes the installation of your 27WON Hybrid Cold Air Intake

We hope you were impressed with your 27WON experience and love your new intake for years to come. Email us at sales@27won.com or call us at 571-271-0271 with any questions or concerns
