    CAUTION: DO NOT stretch Teflon tape during installation.

  3. Hand tighten supercharger outlet adapter collar on inlet tube. Install and slightly tighten nuts attaching inlet and outlet tubes to charge air cooler. Ensure tubes are free to move at sealing areas. Using adapter, tighten supercharger outlet adapter collar to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
