This is from memory last night but I will try to be as detailed as possible.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable 10mm
2. Remove engine shield (plastic piece on top) just pull firmly pops right off from 3 hold down points
3. Remove PVC line from valve cover
4. Loosen hose clamps
5. Unplug MAF sensor
6. Remove 2 torques head screws from filter box assembly (on driver's side)
7. Remove 10mm bolt from front air box assembly (must go between hood and front end while hood is up)
8. Remove first section of the air box assembly (driver's side)
9. Remove second section of the air box assembly (by front grill)
10. Remove MAF sensor from original equipment (2 Phillips head screws)
11. Install MAF sensor into new tube (same 2 Phillips head screws)
12. Assemble you new tube assembly (filter, filter sock, filter shield, 2 tube pieces & 2 rubber sections)
13. Place you complete tube assembly into the engine compartment
14. Use 1 of the Torques head screws and the 10mm bolt to loosely hold the assembly in place (start each of the screws just a few threads)
15. Align the end connecting to the engine loosely tighten clamp to hold in place.
16. Starting at the filter start tightening all hose clamps and retention screws finishing at the engine
17. Install new PVC tube between valve cover and tube assembly (supplied with kit)
18. Install engine cover
19. Reconnect battery ground
20. Reset you clock (your computer information and radio presets are fine)
21. Place you GM performance stickers where ever you would like. ( I put the big one on the Filter shield and the small sticker on the lip of the driver side front fender. It also has a Saturn and Pontiac emblem sticker I haven't decided where to put yet.
21. Take her out for a test drive and see how she feels.
Now remember I said this is from memory so if I did forget something I am sorry but I really don't need any mistakes pointed out a dozen times here. The kit does come with instructions which are at home so I am unable to reference them here at work. I hope the information I provided was informative. I kind of did a step by step in my pictures during the removal. There was absouletly nothing hard about doing this yourself. There is nothing hard to reach or out of the way. Just use the right tool for the job as I did and you should be good to go. I did notice just a little bit of pick up on take off. I noticed more was when I down shifted from 5th to 4th doing 60 I punched it and I was doing 90 at a moments notice. So my opinion is that it is worth it. Since I will probably never be able to afford the turbo I will look for increases in performance in the little increments that I can find it. Always remember to drive safe and keep the shinny side up.
