Can't remember where it is on this forum and can't be bothered looking for them but I gained 11rwkW by fitting the lower section and snorkel.In 34 degree ambient temps too. As per sig.

Clearance seems fine, but I will keep an eye on it.. I had to grind quite a bit from the opening of the snorkel to get the bonet to close.. Another thing, that plastic screw that holds the snorkel on....it does not seem to tighten up very well. I test drove the car, and it feels good ! A good mod for $165.00 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51033-v8-airbox-lower-and-cai-pipe-fitted-into-f6/page/3/#findComment-822948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't actually tighten up it just pushes into the base part of it and spreads some knobs out.All scrivets are good for is locating things.Quite odd you had to grind more material off to get it to fit properly. Another thing that you need to do is move the rubber seal on the top of the bonnet back approx 15-20mm. All I did was drill a couple of new holes for the plastic retaining plugs and moved it.

Have you posted pics of the upper rubber seal ??? I would like to see some.
