Umm, you really do not need a schematic, it's pretty much just unplug, unscrew, snip, and pull. Might be a cuss word here or there, but it's not that bad. The only tricky thing is going to a parts store to fab up one connection, need a brass barbed reducer and some hose. You will see once you get to it. Atleast this was with the APR TIP. I've done 2 installs, the 2nd went much quicker.

Taking it off is a PITA...the hose does NOT want to come off the turbo for sheet...loosen the clamp as much as possible and keep tugging and keep wiggling it and eventually it will come off. Some people cut them off, some don't...I didn't but had I not been selling it to someone I definitly would have.

You'll know the value of vaseline if you've ever had to slip silicone couplers onto anything

Apparently you guys don't know the REAL purpose of a dip stick.

Thats a lubricant applicator for hoses, dispensing the perfect amount of oil to get a hose to slip onto a fitting. Duh.
