I installed the JWT POP Charger today, but ran into a problem with the bracket. The directions say "bolt bracket to lower bolt on air meter and fender (use hole where air box was mounted)."
The bracket isn't even close to reaching the hole where the air box was mounted. I read where someone else had to modify the bracket.
Can someone who's installed it give me some suggestions or pictures of how you did it?
I'd appreciate it...

Hmmm... it was a while ago, so I don't fully remember. I might have taken about an hour. It's not that difficult. I did drop a bolt that took me a long time to find. LOL.

Hey Paul, how long for the install? I guess looks can be deceiving.

I got my bracket mounted today, so it's finished. If it weren't for the fact that I was holding the bracket up to the POP charger and every hole I could find, it would have only taken me about an hour to install.
If you look closely at Paul's picture, you will see that the bracket is mounted to the POP charger on the upper bolt closest to the front of the car, and then to the bracket that used to hold the old air box. I unbolted my negative battery cable before I started, and bolted it back on a little over an hour later as others have suggested to reset the ECM.
Here's are some instructions from my experience:
1) The air box is bolted to the car in five places. Four are obvious, one is low and just behind the battery. Just unbolt all of them, but keep track of which bolts went where.
2) You will see a bracket that the air box is resting on; the bracket is bolted down to the top of the fender well just ahead of the strut. It's easier to take the air box out if you remove those two bolts and just set the bracket on top of the strut. Unplug the electrical plug that is connected to the air tube to make it easier and so you can take the tube out in a minute.
2) The air box is bolted to the air tube by four bolts. Don't loosen them yet, first loosen the hose clamp that the air tube is inserted into, and pull the air box and air tube out of the car.
3) Remove the four bolts from the air tube and separate it from the air box. Now you can mount the POP charger to the air tube. One bolt supplied with the POP charger is longer to accomidate the bracket. If your orient the air tube different ways on the back of the POP charger you will see a way where it fits and there are no air gaps. Put the longer bolt on the top right corner, that is looking at the POP charger from the back with the electical plug of the air tube facing up. I would recommend that you take the filter off of the POP Charger temporarily. Put the bracket with the longer flat end onto the longer bolt, just don't tigheten that bolt yet. You can tighten the rest of them.
4) Once the air tube and POP charger are bolted together, re-insert the air tube into the hose clamp on the car. You'll need to push with some force to get it seated all the way. That's why I suggested taking off the filter. Make sure the electical plug is facing up, and tighten the hose clamp.
5) Remount the bracket that is laying on top of the strut to the fender well.
6) Take one of the five original bolts that held the air box (one of the two shorter ones) and bolt the POP charger bracket to the car bracket. It is the hole closes to the POP charger. See Paul's picture.
7) Reinstall the POP charger air filter, make sure the hose clamp is centered over the POP charger housing. Plug the electrical plug back into the air tube.
Eureka!!!

Also, there was a guy named Dave that was selling them to Maxima.org members for a really good price. Like $235.00, they list at $299.00.
You might check the Group Buys Discussion if your interested.
