1. Remove the heater hose.
2. Remove the supercharger (SC) bubbler hose.
3. Remove the upper and lower SC bypass actuator vacuum tubes.
4. Remove the 2 bolts and the EGR system module.
^ Discard the gasket.
5. Disconnect the vacuum tube from the fuel rail and pressure temperature sensor.
6. Remove the 4 fuel rail bolts.
^ Remove the fuel rail and injectors as an assembly.

7. NOTE: The fuel injector clip can be reused if it is not damaged during removal.
