Default I wish I had some. Are you following the tech article?

You should take notes and pics as you go for the archives. Good luck!<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng43.shtml">tech article</a></li></ul>

Default lol - no kidding! Doing the hole in the airbox (a simple DIY) costed me

3 hours and a few ounces of blood (damn that back clamp). Although I've considered DIYing the downpipes, I know better now.

Default I did actually, but it was so incredibly tight that I feared putting it back

in that way. I tried, but one wire was just too tight. So I decided to split it up. Actually it was good because I got it seated perfectly. That back clip is the devil! I have learned the secret, though.

I can't do anything on this car because my hands are too fat to fit in the small spaces.
