unclicp two clips that hold down the lid, get a screw driver flat head, and unscrew the worm clamp from the TB, pull out the iat, and the groment, pull out the aire pump intake, throw your old lid in the garbage, then reinstall new same as reverse, should take about 10 minutes. good luck

wow, people really have these problems installing a lid, i did a fast toys ram air and slp cold air pack in like an hour, and you have to drill **** and cut **** so it could fit down in front of the radiator.
i guess im luck to have a car where my **** isnt hard to get off.
my 86 mustang was a different story to work on

My stock lid was an absolute pain in the *** to get off of the MAF housing, when I finally did get it off of the MAF housing it was all jacked up and there is no way to put it back on if I need to take it to the dealer for service. My biggest problem was getting the IAT sensor with the grommet out of the stock lid. The gromit was brittle and was very hard to get out of the baffles, had to cut them in half with a powersaw, I might post some pics if I pull the two halves of the baffle out of the garbage.

I did the whole install in about 15 minutes. The key is to use a hair dryer on the neck of the lid to loosen the MAF. After about 20 seconds of heating, the MAF slid off like butter. Then, I used some dishwashing soap to get the IAT sensor off.

when i did mine on my previous t/a it literally took a hour to get the MAF out i seriously wanted to cut it out it pissed me off so bad lol.. but the funny thing is, when i just installed it in my new ws6, i was thinking to myself, here we go this pain in the *** is gonna be stuck in there again, but it took 5 minutes of working it around, and slid right out!. so really it all depends on how long it takes someone to get the maf out, thats the only time consuming part about the install.
