6. Step 6

   Install both 3/4" fire sleeves onto each 3/8” silicone water hoses. The shorter fire sleeve will connect to the rear of the turbocharger coolant fitting and run to the “T” underneath the coolant resivor. Use (2) 18mm pinch clamps. The longer fire sleeve with silicone hose will connect the the front barb coolant fitting and connect back to the OEM soft coolant line using the supplied 3/8” hose barb. Use (3) 18mm pinch clamps.

   

   

7. Step 7

   Install the 3/4-3/4 barb into the V-Flow and secure with a pinch clamp. Install the V-Flow to the turbocharger and air box. Reinstall the (2) 13mm bolts securing the airbox to the firewall. Tighten the V-Flow down.

   Note

   If using a catch can, cap the hose barb with supplied cap.

8. Step 8

   Reinstall the (3) vacuum lines coming off the boost control solenoid. Use the (2) 3/16” 90-degree hose barbs and (2) 7inch vacuum hoses to connect the wastegate and boost reference port. Reuse the OEM airbox vacuum line and clamp and connect to the V-Flow.

   

1. Step 10

   Install the lower charge tube onto the throttle body, don’t tighten down yet.

2. Step 11

   Install the Blow Off Valve into the charge tube. Run the vacuum line from the BOV to the plenum. Install the supplied plenum barb, reuse the OEM torx screw. (Fig 10)

   

3. Step 12

   Install the EVP plenum brace onto the OEM plenum. The brace will only fit on one-way. This is a girdle for the plenum. If you have any questions, please reference “the clamp” instructions on our website.

   Note

   you can upgrade to a EVP plenum if you don’t want the brace.

1. Step 13

   With brake cleaner, spray around all (3) injector ports and fuel rail. Wipe debris away with a rag. Turbo and Turbo R models press the metal clip down and remove the connector from the injector. Remove the fuel hose from the fuel rail. Push the connector in and spread left/right side away from the fuel rail. Remove the fuel rail, keep the O-rings with the fuel hose. Remove the (2) fuel rail screws.

2. Step 14

   Remove the injector clip, once the clip is removed you can pull the injector out of the fuel rail. Install the EVP injectors, use dielectric grease on the o-rings allowing for easier installation. Place the injector clip back onto the fuel rail, make sure the clip is in both grooves. Reinstall the fuel rail in reverse order.

   

   

   Note

   Install the supplied injector adaptors before installing the electrical connectors.

1. Step 15

   Unplug electrical connector going into the top of the pump.

3. Step 21

   Unhook fuel hose by removing the red/blue clip from the connection. Then push down on the black clip while pushing in on the back side of the fitting – then lift the fitting off the pump assembly.

4. Step 22

   Rotate pump assembly cap counterclockwise and remove from the tank

   

   Note

   Your fuel pump assembly MUST be the 172 HP Turbo R or 195 HP RR versions! If you have a 2017 X3 or a 120 Base Model that has not been updated to the Turbo R or RR pump assembly, this must be purchased separately!

5. Step 23

   With the fuel pump on a workbench and all the fuel drained out of the pump assembly, press in on the (3) tabs to release the housing covering the tank.

   

1. Step 24

   Install fuel pump assembly back into tank in the reverse order from its removal.

2. Step 25

   Install the EVP supplied fuel pump into the surge tank that was removed in. Make sure the pump is oriented and fitted correctly into the bottom of the housing When properly oriented, the pump will drop into place and it will not rotate.

3. Step 26

   Plug the electric connection into the pump.

4. Step 27

   Carefully align the tabs and reinsert the cap into the housing – do not force it – if it does not fit in with moderate pressure, something is not correct – recheck. See picture below of fuel line and electrical connection.

5. Step 28

   Reinstall pump assembly.

6. Step 31

   Replace OEM fuel pump fuse with the supplied 20-amp fuse in location F5.
