This is an easy install with very few tools needed. Total install time was less than one hour.
I need to give a big thanks to Vivian and DJ for a great deal and speedy delivery on my elbow.

Tools required for the job:
7/16 deep socket or wrench
10mm socket
8mm socket
5mm allen wrench
Stock vs. Accufab
Start with removing the two wiring harness connections from the factory throttle body.
Next, use the 7/16 socket to loosen the clamp that holds the CAC ducting to the factory elbow.
Next you need to remove the one 10mm bolt and the three 8mm bolts that secure the elbow to the factory throttle body.
With a little twisting the factory elbow will come off.
Now you are ready to remove the Throttle body.
Use the 5mm allen wrench to remove the three mounting bolts and remove the throttle body.
You need to clear this stud
Take one of the rubber o-rings on the factory Throttle body and insert it in the groove on the bottom of the Accufab elbow.
There is an o-ring on the top and bottom of the throttle body. Use either one
Install the new Accufab Elbow on the intake
For installing the elbow you can use either the three hex head 8mm bolts and one of the 5mm allen head bolts, or the three 5mm allen head bolts and one 8mm bolt. Either will work fine but you will need to use some combination that equals four since there are four mounting holes in the elbow flange and you wont be reusing the long 10mm bolt again.
Remove the plug in the Accufab elbow and hook up your boost gauge. Snug up all mounting bolts and go make some smoke
When the job was done I had the 10mm bolt and two allen head bolts left unused.
