Its easy you will have to remove your existing washer bottle and reuse the motor and cap for the new bottle

So let's get this straight. Was the increase in hp due to the lean out condition or was this after the retune?

so you have already done a back to back with the CAI and the Vararam vr-drx and gained 15 whp without even tuning it correct?

No, I just like to purchase "Made in USA" products if I have a choice. I was considering the Z/28 cai, but since its made in china, I ain't going that route.

That's cool. Some components of Z/28 were also made in Mexico, Canada, China, and USA. I'm not picky.

Just got my VR-DRX. Ill upload the instructions today if anyone is interested. According to one page of the instructions I may need a jack to get under the car to remove the washer bottle. Should be fun.
