Take your MAP sensor and place the provided spacer and gasket on your sensor. Then use a phillips screwdriver and the long screws provided to mount your MAP sensor to your JLT intake tube.

Tip: Make sure you place the plastic spacer between the top of the sensor and gasket.

Next, take your JLT air box and install the rubber grommets with shoulder washers.
