I have no tools at my house so I'm gonna gou buy a set of junk to get this job done. I'm sure it is very easy to do, but if any of you have any tips that might make this job easier on me, please let me know.
I also have my BOV.

What kind of CAI did you end up buying? I'll be out of town this weekend, or else I would say you could bring it over to my garage, as I have a pretty decent tool set, with ramps & jacks/stands. Either way, CAI's on the MS3/MS6 are pretty easy, I'm confident a high-speed monkey could get it done, you shouldn't have much of a problem :)

LOL!! I got it on. The BOV is another story. The small hose fits on an even smaller tube, hafta go to store to get an adaptor. Also, are there any clearance issues with the HKS bov? Don't be afraid to call. Suckas!

I used an extra clamp on the hose to combat the urge to bend in that spot. MAY need another, not sure. I'll let some of you have a looksie and see what you think.

Thanks again!
