Since the new VRSF CP is in two pieces, it's relatively easy. I did the lower piece (intercooler end) first, then put the silicone connector on along with the loosened clamps on the upper piece and connected to the lower piece. I then connected the throttle body end, and adjusted the connector and tightened the clamps. So far so good, although the bung for the plastic vacuum hose must have been damaged at the factory because it had a flat spot at the 3:00 position and I had to file down the plastic connector to make it insert properly. I'll secure that with a tie wrap around the connector and the pipe itself, although the o-ring should hold it, but it won't hurt to add a little extra.
