Sweet! Eagerly awaiting your firsthand report.Feels good knowing that there are still good people around the world! Package was delivered to the wrong address but because my phone Number was on the shipping slip the guy called me and delivered it to my home. It’s game time now!
Just finished installing mine and went out for a night drive. The induction noise and woosh sound is LOUDDDD! A lot louder than the AFE that I had for a week and decided to take it off.
The installation took me 2 hours, mainly because it was hard to get the silicone hose to fit right. The evap flange rubs against the vac pipe, and I couldn't get it not to rub. There's not much wiggle room because silicone hose is thick and thus not as flexible. Also, the silicone hose doesn't go all the way to the turbo inlet pipe, leaving a 2mm gap. The airbox is also rubbing against the bracket that holds the MAF sensor wire to the fuse box. This is not a big deal though but just something I want to point out. Performance wise, I don't notice any increase, but I expected it.
Overall, I'm keeping this intake. Let me know if you guys are having the same issue with the silicone hose.

Take out the evap and other line. Loosen your clamps on maf and over pipe and rear two bolts on airbok, position silicon correctly. Note logo is not a reference as 90* visually is different for everyone. Once silicone is positioned correctly then tighten silicone. The next step is to insert the two factory fittings, we recommend putting the smaller hard hose in first but do not tighten, then position your evap where you will have the most clearance. We have our recommendations on How our car is assembled, however there are a few ways to do it. Once you have sufficient clearance then tighten down. In this case it looks as though the user put the smaller pipe in to far, if he pulled the pipe out 1/16th then tightened it it would mostly likely clear the evap. You can also rotate the evap how if fits your car to clear. Remember, patience as this is a very tightly fit engine bay and a little massaging of metal can always do wonders.
Don’t forget to tighten the two airbox bolts .
Hope these suggestions help.
Oh fuck i dont think i didLOL I should be okay with doing that now though right?
I also have a small gap at the inlet pipe. i tried my best to make it as small as i could but as long as the clamp is there tight i dont see it having any issues.Just finished installing mine and went out for a night drive.
