hey guys so Urson sent me his injen cai and i was attempting to install it by myself today. it got too dark and the lighting in my garage sucks so i decided to just put everything back in and start again tomorrow. I got what i thought was everything back together and i started the tib up and it was going in and out of idle and the rpms were not staying constant. Can anyone help me out either with what my problem is or how to install the cai. Videos, pictures, anything would help. I have work in the morning and would like to get out tonight as well. Thanks

FYI... the arrow on the MAF shows the direction of the airflow.

this is true. so the only thing i really couldnt get was unconnecting the maf, how does that work? and actually the whole air box, i got the lid off really easily but unsure how to get the whole thing off

once the lid and the filter are out of the airbox there are two (10mm?) bolts in the bottom, remove those and lift

Take the bolts out of the bottom of it....

The maf sensor is held in like all other connections on the tib, by a metal "staple" that you need to use a screwdriver to get off.
