Ugh....Really....

Remove the air intake tube and filter box 4 10mm bolts. Along with a couple of hose connections.

Then....

Remove 4 10mm bolts and unplug two connectors and its out.

Use some TB cleaner, a couple of rags and tooth brush....

Have you been using it as a stand alone sealant or as a booster?

Blacklight topped with V7 is supposed to be a killer combo.
