The torque specs for the manifold bolts are 18ft/lbs right? and the Throttle body bolts are 7ft/lb? any other torque specs?

I have had my Isolator in for about 8,000 miles, maybe more. No issues at all, it makes a noticeable difference.

Pretty simple install, if you are doing it yourself just take your time and make sure everything is cleaned up before re-installation. Past that, there are no reliability issues to worry about!

You do not have to unplug the throttle body just unbolt it and set it off to the side. And will avoid a cel

I broke a bolt when torquing to 18lb/ft on the plenum spacer. I think 10-12 lbs is sufficient for those (there's 8 of them).

You could disconnect the battery to reset it, or just drive awhile and it will clear on its own.

Otherwise its a straight forward install and well worth the effort!

I think if you disconnect the negative lead of the battery prior to removing.unplugging the TB, then you won't get a CEL. I did this when I recently installed the ported TB and had no CEL. Maybe I got lucky...

Looking for instructions on how to install the isolator. I purchased it from APEX but no instructions. Also what type of sealant are y'all using?

I don't really know what people have used - probably 100% silicone RTV sealant of some sort meant for automotive applications. I used two OEM intake manifold gaskets; one on top of the spacer, one below.
