Hey buddy,

does the LICP bracket mount have to be mounted some where? or is it okay to just unbolt it and leave it hanging there? :S

thanks

quick question, I just installed mine, and now my rpm isn't idling right. Every time I drop to neutral the rpm drops and it either rides to 0 rpm and dies or it rides back up. I'm just wondering if that is normal because my car is stock with the hks bov and intake flange to the LICP.

So now that the MAS is off, we will now bolt it up to the adapter plate that came in the kit.

I didn't turn the nuts quickly and it broke the plastic on the inside. Any ideas on how I can remove these nuts now? They seem like they're locktite'd in there.

haha thats when u need a partner. mine got stuck too...i had a friend hold the nut from the inside with a wrench while i twisted the outside. try it several times because most of the time when you twist, the inside will twist too. so make sure you chose a strong buddy.

Hey, I was wondering, where do you mount the little round bracket that came with the HKS intake kit? I've not found any tut's on where to mount it. Helps appreciated.
