Default Question RE AWE MAF

I just got the AWE fueling kit and am wondering how to connect the new 85mm MAF to my airbox?

Default Remove the MAF sensor from the old housing with security torx (set aside carefully), unclip old MAF

housing from the airbox (2 clips), remove stock accordian hose by compressing the stock clamps (2), remove MAF from airbox (be careful there is a sealing ring in there, don't lose it). Install AWE MAF (remember to put the sealing ring back into the airbox (should fit right in the grooves in the airbox opening) before installing the AWE MAF. Clip AWE MAF to airbox, attach AWE hose from MAF to Y pipe using the AWE provided hose clamps (2), re-install MAF sensor into the AWE housing using supplied AWE screws and allen wrench .. Thinks that's about it, been about 2.5 years since I had that kit, homebrew now.

ps. If all this seems foreign, maybe another forum member in your area can help.

Default Reminder, you may want to cover the holes in the airbox and Ypipe while you are working, if you are

real slow. You do NOT want any FOD (Foreign Object Debris in either of these locations). Remember to remove the clean rag from the openings when you are installing the AWE parts.

Hope this makes sense.

DO NOT LEAVE THE RAGS IN THERE OR PUSH THEM IN TOO FAR !!

Default I believe AWE recommends that you drill a hole in the air box now also. Don't quote me on this,

should be in the installation instructions ... You can use a drill with one of those circular hole saw attachments. Check the AWE instructions to verify location etc.. I believe this is important so that the AWE MAF to Y hose does not collapse under WOT.
