Default New JLT and Throttle/Plenum Install

Just got my JLT RAI and throttle body and plenum. In reading the JLT instuctions it says not to put the MAF screen back in. Is that true? Also, is the TPS sensor going to be that much of a pain in the butt to remove? I currently don't have access to an impact wrench. Any other ideas I think they use thread locker on it, should I also on the new install?

tps is easy to get off. go slow and push on the screw hard while ur turning. why would you need an impact wrench? and dont put the screen back in.

The directions say you should use an impact wrench or you will round out the scerws.

The tps is a ****ing bitch to get off with just using a phillips screwdriver. What u got to do is cut a slit on the top of the screw all the way across it so that you can get a big ****ing flat head in there. It will allow the screws to come out much easier. If you need a picture of what i'm talking about i can get one tommorow.
