Does the bottom of the HKS look like the bottom of the OEM cap? You may have gotten the wrong cap.

no. its missing the little part that locks it down like on the OEM cap. and the store said it was for all evos. i was thinking maybe i had to take off the lock from the OEM and put it on the HKS some how.

Dude I was really hoping you were going to make a how to post for installing the cap.

1. Place cap on top
2. Turn clockwise

Pics coming soon!
