Just use a small flat screw driver to lift/pop up the grey clip and then squeeze and pull up.
Just so I'm clear, I use a screwdriver to pull the white plastic piece up (per the orientation of this picture - it seems to click when it extends out), then squeeze said white plastic piece against the body of the plug and pull? How much force should I have to apply? They usually take a lot to get out then first time?Just use a small flat screw driver to lift/pop up the grey clip and then squeeze and pull up.
Not a ton? White clip goes up and clicks, then just pull/wiggle it out.
Thanks. I'll give it a whirl today. Is it the one that's in the vertical or horizontal position? I thought it was the one in the horizontal position (on the left of the two right next to each other) based on the instructions, but the picture above has me second guessing myself. May just be the perspective that pic was taken, though. Anyone have a pic of it installed on their car?
Mine was the same way. It seems there was something wrong with it. The connection on the other end worked perfectly - simply pulled the clip up, squeeze and pull right out - but the TMAP connector would not budge. After 15 or 20 minutes of pushing, pulling, and squeezing it finally released but the clip was obviously defective. When I reconnected it the clip came out completely and fell into the bottom of the engine never to be seen again. I'm now using a small black cable tie to make sure they stay connected.Alright, how the f do I get the f'ing clip open on the MAP sensor side of the wire so I can f'ing install the f'ing JB+? I walked out to the garage and was like "cool a 2min car project" and struggled with the damn clip for 20mins and never got it open.
Thank you! Looks like I was struggling with the correct clip. Frustrating as heck.Its the harness with 3 wires not 2. See mine installed below:
Nice work! Let us know how it feels.Success! Thank you all for your help with this.
I will echo this sentiment. My initial impression after about an hour drive after installation is that it definitely pulls harder. I could feel this mostly when initiating a pass when starting midway up the tach in 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear. You can feel the boost build and the car just whips you around whatever you're passing. So, butt dyno approved, but will reserve full judgement until I spend a bit more time with it - apparently as the car "learns" with the new piece in it, it should only get better (just what I've read - no idea if it's true). For the money, until a full unlock for the untunable '21s are available, this seems like a good upgrade.
Happy with mine while I wait for the unlock!
You'll be fine with a JB+
