I used the following:

- High lift jack (needed to get the tires up on the ramp, car is too low even at stock height to drive up ramps)
- Ramps
- Pick tool set for disconnecting MAP and MAF sensors and charge c-clips
- Torx bit set for removing OEM MAP sensor screws
- Hex set for attaching FTP MAP sensor bolts
- Channel locks for removing HVAC hose metal vibration damper
- A set of various sized flat nose screwdrivers to remove airbox system and the charge pipe c-clip lock and tighten the new charge pipe hose clamps
- 8mm socket to remove the under panel
- 10mm socket to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery


I think that's it. I always end up using WAY more tools than anticipated. I strongly suggest doing this at a friend's who as access to a lot of tools and automotive knowledge.
Thank you so much!!
