Bracket removed from rear of airbox with 10mm socket to ease removal

I undid electrical connectors to give more room

Airbox half way out

Result - it's out! - bit of jiggery pokery involved getting it through coolant pipes etc

Old & new

Bolts in existing airbox sheared (of course! [:P] ) while removing MAF housing (10mm socket)

I 'kinked' the fixing strap through 90º to enable fixing of CDA

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190011.jpg

I fixed the strap using the same bolts that fix the fan to the rad (8mm socket)

CDA then fixed to this using 10mm sockets

Not fitted duct to bottom of CDA yet [:$] , but will do so before driving in the p*ssing rain []

[fluffybunny]

fantastic I had a nightmare fitting mine.........

This should be made a sticky for everyones future reference...

Well done

[timdenty]

Well done. How does the car compare before & after?

[0of0]

Induction noise is great! Performance wise slightly better, but assume it will imrove when ducting is fitted
At the mo I suspect my set-up is creating suction within the CDA

Sounds interesting, how much did the kit cost?

[0of0]

Normally £171, but I found mine on ebay (brand new) for £100

[supermo]

Ok not sure I'd wanna go through the prosses of fitting that, as my technical abbiliaty is bad(really really bad).
Where could i pick one of these up and also have it fitted at the same time??

I would have thought any decent 'tune-up' place could supply / fit one, but there's not that much to it really if you can turn a spanner
