Whew! Haha! J/K.

Glad you posted up what needed modifying. Sure will make my install go easier. What other issues did you encounter during the install? My fuel system is returnless, so I'm good there. I have an X-Link here at the shop. MAP sensor from mine shows to be the same as TBSS. My current intake tube should fit over the 87mm TB.

Seems as if I just need to change the EVAP components over, run NNBS steam line/TB Coolant bypass, be creative with PCV system, and everything else should be golden. Any more input is appreciated.

See ya this weekend man!!

the map sensor is not the same as your truck, you will need to use yours or change the connector on your truck. I didn't run into any issues, with the use of NNBS Evap lines all is direct bolt on that takes an entire 20 min.

Really the only issue you will run into is the pcv line from the passenger side valve cover, you will need to add a 3/8 hose barbs to your intake tube. Bring your x link and we can install in the parking lot!

I'm down for some parking lot wrenching! Haha. Neh, I'll just wait until I get back, so that my tuner will be around if needed.
