WARNING: Team-iSt is not responsible for you doing this. You do this under your own free will, with your own supervision. This may be illegal in your state, it is your responsibility to find out. If you break it or mess up, you are the one who did it. You can very well void your warranty on your car, and if you really screw up, your life. Seriously, be very careful doing this. You can damage your car if you are not careful.
Supplies:
- 10mm deep socket and wrench
- Flathead screwdriver
- Phillips screwdrivers (small, medium, and large)
- Razor blade or cutting knife
This is what you get when you open the box.

Step 1: The first thing I did was remove the battery. Although the instructions do not require you to remove the battery, I think it will make life easier when you have that big obstacle out of the way, especially when you put the intake into the car. Start out by loosening the two bracket nuts with a 10mm deep socket wrench and remove the bracket. Then loosen up the battery terminals with the same 10mm socket and separate them from the terminals. Lift the battery out and it should look like the picture below.

Step 2: Loosen the hose clamp at the throttle body with your 10mm socket.

Step 3: Loosen the 10mm socket at the top of that same hose at the intake box. Squeeze the hose clip on the crankcase hose hose and disconnect the hose from the intake duct. Finally, loosen both ends of the intake duct and remove from the car.

Step 4: Disconnect the harness from the mass airflow sensor. This is the sensor that sits on top of the stock airbox.

Step 5: Take a screwdriver and insert it into the tab on the vacuum switching valve as shown below. Pry against the VSV and pull up on the VSV to remove detach it from the airbox.

Step 6: Pop the 2 clips on the airbox to remove the cover and the air filter. Set these aside. I used a 10mm socket with 2 long extension bits to get at the 3 bolts that hold the bottom of the airbox to the car. Remove the 3 bolts.

Step 7: Loosen one final 10mm bolt on the intake pipe next to the front right headlamp. Once you remove this bolt, the intake can be maneuvered out.

Step 8: Take the supplied L-bracket, one of the supplied screws, and supplied washer then fasten it to the factory transmission housing brace. Tighten the screw with a large head phillips.

Step 9: Snap the VSV onto the L-bracket

Step 10: Take the supplied vibration absorbing rubber mount and screw it into the pre-tapped hole located at the base of the battery.

http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-13.jpg
Step 11: Take the long YDR rubber hose and cut it in half. These will be the hoses that attach to the crankcase, oil diffusing filter, and intake pipe.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-14.jpg
Step 12: Loosen the 4 10mm bolts at the engine cover shown on the image below. Then remove the engine cover.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-15.jpg
Step 13: Shown in the picture below, there is a hose clamp that holds the crankcase hose. Squeeze that clamp to loosen it and remove the hose.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-16.jpg
Step 14: Attach the oil diffusing filter to one of the hoses that you cut in half. Tighten one of the supplied hose clamps on it to hold it in place.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-17.jpg
Step 15: Take the other end of that hose and slip it over the crankcase valve. Tighten it to the crankcase valve with the supplied hose clamp.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-18.jpg
Step 17: Slide the supplied large, short hose onto the throttle body and tighten it on with one of the hoseclamps.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-19.jpg
Step 18: Remove the K&N filter from the box. Slide it onto the YDR intake pipe and tighten it down with a hose clamp.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-20.jpg
Step 19: Take the YDR intake and stick it into the cavity behind the headlamp. This part can be tricky if you don't get the orientation right. Study the picture below carefully and it will be a breeze. This is why I recommend removing the battery.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-21.jpg
Step 20: With the K&N filter end inserted into the cavity, take the other end of the intake pipe and slide it onto the hose that's attached to the throttle body. Make sure that the mount on the intake pipe aligns itself onto the rubber mount in step #10. Tighten the hose clamp onto the intake pipe.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-22.jpg
Step 21: Take the supplied washer and nut and tighten them over the vibration absorbing rubber mount.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-23.jpg
Step 21: On the top of the stock airbox, you will need to remove the mass airflow sensor by removing two phillips screws and pulling it out.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-24.jpg
This is what the sensor looks like:
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-25.jpg
Step 22: Take the mass airflow sensor and mount it onto the YDR intake. Use the factory screws to hold it in.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-26.jpg
Step 23: Take the harness that you removed in step #4 and plug it back into the mass airflow sensor. It will be a bit of a stretch.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-27.jpg
Step 24: Take the other half of the hose you cut in half and plug one end into the oil diffusing filter and the other end into the YDR intake pipe. Tighten with the supplied hose clamps.
http://www.scionlife.com/tech/images/intake_ydr/ydr-28.jpg
Step 25: Put the battery back in the car. Make sure you get the positive and negative terminals right. Remount the bracket and terminals. Also put the engine cover back on.
