Trying to install primitive Racing front skid and cannot find the turbo cooling duct which needs to be cut and moved.

These instructions come with photos from 1897 so I cannot gather anything from the instructions.

Currently sitting under my ascent typing this in frustration as Primitive is closed on weekends and I already have my car apart.

I found old threads but the photos and info was not enough to help. Any help is appreciated

It's attached to the engine splash guard on the passenger side front, on the engine side of the splash guard.

Yep, I found it after I got out from under the car. My OEM splash guard was filthy so I didn't notice it.

The instructions could definitely add somewhere that the turbo duct is on the OEM splash guard.

Even tho I look dumb, I'll leave this post up in case anyone else has the same issue.

Just finished doing all 3 and it wasn't too bad. The actual installation is pretty easy and straightforward.

The instructions could use some work. Specifically the rear diff and the turbo duct on the OEM skid.

The rear diff tells you to "rotate" and has it written on the picture when in reality I just slid the bracket up and into place. No rotation needed at all, so that step wasted a good 5 mins confusing me haha.

I'm happy to be done with it and I like the look. Seems wayyy more protected now.
