No instructions mine is the type that bolts to the intake.
I removed the fuel rail covers and undid 5 bolts which hold down the injectors. Once undone I gentle lifted the injector harness and slide the plenum into position. Once that was done just aligned all the injectors again then tightened the bolts.

Then admired my handy work

Love that Plenum Todd... it makes your engine bay look great. As far as a theme for your next project. Godzilla is out, I believe you are much more famous for the avatars.. I think a poll would agree that Nakkie wimmins will win out over Godzilla anytime.
