I have the instructions. They are a pdf file, too large to upload here as an attachment. They come from Custom Chrome and are probably available on their website. Or, if you PM me with your e-mail address i can e-mail the file to you.

I have installed this kit. It is an easy process. Yes you do drill a small hole, but no you do not patch up any other hole. It makes an awesome difference in acceleration, especially in the lower RPMs.
