Ok, most of you guys are just going to laugh when you read this. I am very aware of that, but damnit I just have to ask because I CANNOT figure it out. How in the world do you replace the air filter. I spent a good hour jus trying different things and I can't get the damn thing out. All the bolt/screw things are all rusted like a mo fo and I don't know if I can unbolt that box, or if you even need to. Please help a novice out...

There are three clips, two hoseclamps, and one plug you're going to have to undo if you just want to replace the air filter and not take the enitre can out.
The three clips secure the MAF backing piece to the rest of the can (they look like little wirey clips on your airbox). Next, remove the plug on that same backing plate that the intake hose leading to the turbo hooks to. That is the MAF plug. Next, remove both the hose clamps that hold the intake hose leading to the turbo on. This is not totally necessary but it makes it easier. Pull the backing plate away from the air can (sometimes they are stuck on with silicone so it may take some effort) and there's your air filter. Replace and repeat instructions in reverse order. If you want to do the aircan mod while you're at it... http://www.vfaq.com/mods/filter-print.html there's the link. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
