Default Elbow Install.

I snapped a quick pic at work, of where the clamps go.
BTW don't pay attention the the shiny Primary intake tube.

1. On the coupler at the Intake tube,
2. On the coupler on the intake tube side.
3. On the coupler furthest from the air box.
4. On the coupler closest to the air box.

Hey maf...yes I figured out the clamps with more pondering and looking at the diameters of each connection it made sense, still considering if i will clamp the air inlet. probably will.

I am actually going out now to do the fix for the limp mode issue(moisture on or in TPS) Im gonig to take out the TB asnd clean it all up so ill be redoing the connections and also utilizing your idea of rotating the bolts under eath.

so far i definately feel a better throttle response and the more audible SC whine is glorious..reminds me of my AMG

Awesome!! I'm glad your happy with the final product. Btw due to the alum content in the coating you can use billet wheel polish on it
