Default Plenum and TB Install?

I just got my Accufab 70mm TB with the Accufab Plenum. I haven't tried to install it yet, but how difficult is it? Any special tools I would need before I go taking the factory one off? It came with 2 PCV tubes (one smaller than the other) Is it obvious which one to use, it says use the appropriate one according to the year of the car. Let me know....Thanks

Its obvious for the tube size. The swap's simple, can be done in 15 mins. Take the TPS bolts out though while the TB is still on the car, its easiest to use a phillips bit inside a 1/4 socket so you can use ratchet power to remove them without stripping the heads.

Yeah, its very easy. I put on my C&L last night and all you need is a 8mm and 10mm socket to get the stock stuff off.

Ok, cool. It looks damn good...it need to re-tint my back window. It's starting to bubble up at the top.

those TPS bolts were a bi@tch on mine! guess they put locktite on them at the factory or something, and getting that hose back on wasa job as well... but it only takes a few mins!
