READ THIS FIRST: Please read the entire installation manual before proceeding. Engine and/or
turbocharger damage may occur if any component within these instructions is improperly installed. This
installation should only be performed by a trained specialist who is familiar with the automobile’s
mechanical, electrical and fuel management system. Performance Tuning, Inc (PTUNING) or any of its
distributors cannot be held responsible for damages as a result of negligent or improper installation.
This turbocharger system can be installed using common tools and automotive procedures. If in doubt,
please contact PTUNING’s technical support staff at 703-257-1728, between the hours of 10:00AM and
5:00PM EST, Monday through Friday.
Remove the turbocharger system from its packaging 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 parts list on page three to verify that you have all necessary
system components to proceed. If any components in the parts list are missing, contact PTUNING’s
customer service staff.
Although this turbocharger system has been designed to retain many of the factory emissions controls,
it is not CARB legal in California and therefore recommended for “off road” use only. In other states,
check local laws regarding aftermarket modification to emission controlled vehicles.
The use of premium grade gasoline (93 octane or higher) is required with this kit. We recommend
gapping the factory spark plugs between 0.024”-0.026”.
Although this turbocharger system (full kit) includes a pre-loaded, professionally tuned based map, final
calibration of the base map for your specific vehicle and local atmospheric conditions must be
performed by a professional tuner before attempting to drive the vehicle under boost.
