Yes that's it. Yes, plug and play. I mounted my booster to my hand guard bracket. I wrapped everything in black electrical tape.
The only tricky part was actually getting to the screws that hold the existing throttle casing together. I forget the size torx....but I didn't happen to have it laying around, as it was fairly small. Getting the case back together was a bit of a pain too.
Well worth the cost and effort.

Those damn Torx! Actually on little screws the Torx stays on the tool so i guess shouldn't complain.
The kit is complete & you plug in the white piece in the throttle mechanism. Then run the wires neatly back to where you can hide the box. For me it was in the riser. The stock clip on the AC throttle is a one timer. You may be able to save it, but the new throttle comes with an actual removable c-clip.
You don't want to do this in the cold or even outside. Like the QMAN said, putting it back together was a challenge in well lit room with warm fingers. Especially when you're 50 & don't want to admit you might need glasses for little parts. LOL
When doing this, i started to realize that although Cat makes a good chassis, it's the "smalls" that make me wonder & question if they let the rookie engineer design all the minor details.
Arctic Cat hiring process:
You, the graduate from MIT. Go design a good suspension for us.
You, Mr. Community College drop out. Go design a throttle lever. And after lunch design an oil tank for us....

I think they hired a fast food worker for the oil tank. And was a high school dropout.
