Didn't realize you'd have to... Something in the way of the piping?

I haven't gotten around to test fitting/installing my parts yet, but with my air pump deleted I don't think I'll have any space issues.

Unless I am missing something then the fuse box stays in its stock location.

I had to cut the bottom of the tray to let the pipe through. I have a FMIC now and the charge pipe still comes up from there so it worked out good.

pull your fuses boxes out, then remove the plastic box they sit in. then, youll see an open thats barely big enough to cram the fuse box through. stuff eah fuse box through there, one at a time of course. you can only do this with you air pump removed.






still accessible and labels in view from the bottom of the car


make a lexan cover, paint it, and cover up the mess!
