Default Coolant Flush

I've read alot on here about coolant flushes. So I bought a gallon of Restore and 2 qts of VC-9. My question is which do I use first or do I put both of them in at the same time? When I get that done I got a modified intake from Doug at Go Go Diesel which will get rid of the EGR system altogether. Also changing out the oil cooler and putting in the blue fuel pressure spring, and installing a CFM intake elbow. I know I got my work cut out for me. Thanks for any help

while your at it use this to do your flushes and refills with.
RADKITPLUSA, Vacuum/Filler, Cooling System
Fills it to the proper level EVERY time. No need for burping either. I own it, one of the best damn tools i own! saves alot of time too

Got the flush done. How much of the fan shroud has to come off, looks like it is bolted to the intake manifold?

I didnt have to, I could reach inside and remove the two bolts. I just removed turbo, intake, and valve covers. never removed the fan shroud.

To get the intake manifold off like you will have to do to replace your stocker with the GoGo unit, just unbolt those two bolts from the shroud to the intake manifold. You shouldn't have to take any more of that shroud off.
