My words of experience for you: 1. take the fender liner all the way out, don't try to force things with it still in place. 2. Like 808 says, if you are using a deleter elbow tighten the bolt down real well or it will work itself off.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I personally just sealed up the hole where the airbox and the fender meet with weather stripping and covered the hole where the scoop was with the OEM RS part. Schuman has it for like $3 but it's special order

it was easy as cake, now i can hear the turbo spool up better, and the blowoff valve is louder at high rpm's. i need to go and find the adapter or something to plug up those two holes left. i might get that tubing from that vendor off ebay, or i'll tape the holes up. thanks to everyone for the advice!!! hey sykosis, is it shumann carriage, that ur talking about, and is that the only place that i can buy weather stripping tape, or do u think hhome depot has it??
