Default TB question

For the people that have replaced their TB , how do you release the little Red clamp or tab on the electrical connector ? I have the pro charger installed so theres very little room to see or manoeuver in there . Don't wanna break anything if i can help it .

It slides out, then you can squeeze the connector to release.

I don't know why but seems almost all the tab releases are on the bottom of whatever I'm trying to squeeze or pull to release the connection & can't see what the heck I'm trying to do.

So you just have to pull it out ? Like i said , with the pro charger set up , there extremely little space to "feel " or see in there .

I haven't put mine on yet. However it looks like after you take the 4 bolts out you can pull the TB back enough to rotate so the plug is easier to get to.

Yeah the biggest issue i had is the silicone hose from the pro charger set up that attaches to the TB . Almost all back together now .
