<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TibMinn)</div><div class='quotemain'>wrong. although its not in his first pic, he has the intake that comes with the elbow. look at the semi installed part, it has all the nipples.
ok dude your right so far. connect the maf to the elbow you already have on, and then the rest of the intake to the maf. make sense?</div>
what he said.
make sure ur maf is put on correctly because it does matter. the arrow on it should be pointing the direction the air gets sucked into the engine.
no u didnt take off too much.
just attach the maf to the elbow u already have attached to the throttle body, then attach the rest of th intake to the maf, put the filter on. and u may have to figure out a way to make ur sensor fit in nice and tight.

Thanks for all the help. Ill head out and try again.

Theres the link to the eBay auction.
The Air Temperature sensor, or whatever sensor is on the wire that plugged into the hole in the air filter box, it doesnt fit snuggly into the pipe, any suggestions on how to get passed that, or do I even need it anymore?

Most definitely need the Air temp sensor. Plug it in, start it, and hopefully there isn't an air leak. Thats what happens when you buy eBay intakes... ; you took price over quality.
EDIT: Saw your sis bought it. Ahh well... hopefully it'll work.

guys, you want to use the grommet for the IAT sensor that can be found in the stock intake...lol. just pull that little sucker out and put it into the opening on the CAI. your sensor will fit fine.
for the rest of the intake, you want it like this...
intake manifold-->coupler-->new elbow-->coupler-->MAF-->coupler-->big peice of intake-->filter
obviously, you want two hose clamps per coupler. you may have to trim the couplers as much as possible before the pipes touch each other. you want to trim them, but not so much that the things you are joining are touching. then i suggest to put it all together, leaving the clamps loose, that way you can turn it and crap to get it in there nice.

I have one of those, you have to take the little rubber seal from the original airbox and attach it to the hole of the new intake, then plug in your sensor there. Its supposed to fix tight so you don't have any leaks. Hope I could help.

Alright thanks again guys. The little rubber thing fits in the hole for the Air Temp Sensor fine so thats done with, and you guys already told me the rest of the assembly process. Thanks!
Two last question, stupid one at that, which direction does the "big part" go. This way in the picture, or the other way around. Also where do I mount the bracket to?

Man I wish I had a camera so I could take a picture of mine. Below the MAF sensor you will see a small base that I'm pretty sure is to hold a part of the original airbox. The bracket is supposed to go there, with one of the screws you pulled put from the original airbox. Good Luck. Hope I could help.
