hey where you at?
There has to be someone here from the org in your area that can help you install it! I would really give it a try, its not very hard. Check the links 0n this board
-----------------------------------------------------
here is help from punkdork as noted in the sticky
As far as the stock scoop goes, I left it on both cars but that is a matter of preference. It does seem that it would push some cool air toward the intake. You can remove it if you desire.
Take the hole airbox out including the maf tube (there is a section where you can disconnect it from the scoop) and you remve the MAF tube after losening a hose clamp.
Take out the four bolts holding the maf to the airbox.
Set aside your airbox.
I find it easiest to remove the cone from the velocity stack at this point.
Bolt 3 of the new bolts that came with your pop charger to the maf tube leaving the one that will be closest to the top of the strut tower empty.
Slide the maf back into the area you removed it from. Slide makes it sound easy.. it actually requires a lot of work and a couple good strong shoves.
Tighten the hose clamp on the MAF.
Grab the mounting bracket, put one end over the empty hole on your pop charger and the other end to the airbox mounting point on your strut tower and bolt them both on.
Screw the cone filter back onto the velocity stack.
Crank that baby up and hear it suck in the air.

That shop has some idiots working there.
If I were you, I wouldn't consider going back there for any future work. Man I really feel sorry for all of their customers..
If you were in the NYC area, I would help you. This has to be the easiest mod next to installing the FSTB... If you don't mind gettin your hands dirty, give it a try yourself.
