please help with evo install
For those that have installed the EVO airbox, I have some questions.
How hard is this install? Should I just pay someone to do it? Any helpful tips if I do it myself? The instructions call for intake manifold removal.....do I really need to do that?
Any help is appreciated,
James

I watched as they installed my ttp intake, and it did look like a pain in the butt. One of of the first things they did was to start cutting up the stock intake to remove it.

What kind of Intakes are those you have in your car. I am thinking of making for myself.

The hardest or easiest part of the install depending on how you do it is the removal of the existing intake. Hardest if you want to keep it intact. Easiest if you just cut or hack it out. The rest of it is pretty easy. Be prepared for a code or two as sometimes the oil on the filter will mess up the mass airflow sensor.

Really? I am pretty good with cars, professionally was a: Mechanic, auto body tech, 12v installer, auto upholstery, wheels & tires. So when I say it was a pain it usually is. I was trying to remove the stock air box w/o damaging it and not disassembling the motor. Well don't expect that. Ether expect to take off your intake manifold, or cut the crap out of your stock air box. After its out of the hole no problem.
Try going here: www.myspace.com/tcechelon I may have install pics there?

Ok well i guess I will need to take off the manifold. Which is ok I guess, What is involved in that? Gaskets? Special tools? Tips to know and things NOT to do?
I rather know what I am dealing with so I can get prepared and not have my car sit half done for days.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
James

I just happened to read someone lowered their motor instead may be a better option.
