I bought a cold ram intake kit off ebay and installing at the weekend, is there anything that i should know sensor wise and never done one before.
Also is there anywhere that shows step by step how to.
Cheers

Fitting is pretty easy. If it's one with the filter tucked down behind the bumper then you'll need to remove the airbox, bumper and headlight on the n/s.
Removing the airbox is 2 screws from the MAF, the SAI pipe, 2 or 3 screws holding the lid down and then 2 bolts holding the lower airbox to the car.
For the bumper:

With the bumper off you'll be able to remove the 4 torx screws holding the headlight in.
Fit the kit to your MAF, make sure you put a small filter on your SAI hose and piece it all back together.

Although that video they don't remove the bumper.

Although that video they don't remove the bumper.
The only reason I said to do that was to give you more room to work with.

Ah right ok. I'm not ready for removing bumpers. I know it says it's easy, but I'm not ready lol.
Cheers for the help tho.

When I used to fit one of them I used to attach the filter to the tube and then feed the tube from under the car (you'll only need to jack the passenger side front up) you do run the risk of them sucking up water though if you hit a large puddle so I only ran it in summer
I never took the battery out either I just undid the bolt holding the bracket (its to the front of the battery and holds the plate down) and slid the battery across toward the drivers a few inches, gives you enough to get the pipe in from underneath
