Default Air box mod, where is tehe best place to cut the hole?

Ive searched and there arent pictures for just the hole instead of the whole darntake mod. Are you guys putting the hole on the wheel well side or the intercooler side? Pictures would be much appreciated.

Either is fine. Just don't put it on the exhaust manifold/engine block side.

Did you cover it with mesh or just let it be?

Default 2nd on You didn't search hard enough...

I've posted this a bunch as well......

I was not sure where I was going to drill the 2" hole in the airbox. I've seen some at the front and some at the bottom. I knew the RS4 aribox had the hole/flap at the front.

When I got my airbox out, I was surprised to see a slight variation in the plastic in a 2" circle which is where they cut the holes for the RS4 box. (See red circle in first pic). That's where I ended up cutting the hole &amp; I did not use any mesh.

My stock airbox before modding:
