Air Filter installation help needed

Hello I am new to the modding community and I have decided to buy an air filter as my next upgrade. i tried using search but I couldnt find any topics related to this.

Buschur Racing 4" 20 degree Custom Air Filter is the Air Filter that I purchased but I have questions how to install it... these are the instructions how to install it but I dont know where everything is and I dont know what some of things listed are... Could someone post pictures or more detailed instructions? Thanks in advance.


BR instructions:
Thank you for purchasing the Buschur Racing air filter kit for you Mitsubishi Evolution. We have put together these instructions to ease the installation of your new parts. This should take about twenty minutes to install.

Step1: Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery. After you have done this unplug your mass air flow sensor harness from the mass air flow sensor.

Step 2: Remove the top of the air box, take out the filter, remove the screws that secure the airbox into the car.

Step 3: Loosen the clamps that holds the mass air sensor onto the black rubber intake tube, lift the entire assembly out of the engine bay.

Step 4: Get a ratchet along with a 10mm socket to unbolt the mass air sensor from the air box.

Step 5: Remove all of the brass colored metal pieces in the engine bay that are associated with the stock air box as they are no longer needed. You can relocate the stock oem boost control solenoid where you would like. Keep the bolts you will use one of them later in step seven.

Step 6: Mount the mass air flow sensor to the new adapter plate using the supplied bolts and nuts that you removed from your stock air box in step four. Be sure to put the gasket in between the mass air flow sensor and the adapter plate. Before totally securing things, locate the "L" shaped bracket that you received with your air filter kit.

Step 7: The "L" bracket gets bolted onto the lower most bolt facing the firewall. There is a hole on the frame rail when attached correctly will be located directly inline with the hole on the "L" bracket. Fasten the bracket to the frame rail using one of the bolts that were removed in step five. This holds the air filter securely in place so it does not move around.

Step 8: Fasten the mass air flow sensor back to the air intake tube using the clamp that was removed in step three.

Step 9: Attach the air filter to the new adapter plate that you mounted to the mass air flow sensor with he provided worm clamp using your flathead screwdriver.

Step 10: Make sure the "L" bracket that you attached in step seven is mounted securely to the frame rail.

Step 11: Plug the mass air flow sensor harness back in.

Step 12 : Re-attach the negative battery terminal.

so did you buy a kit or just the filter. you need a MAF sensor adapter. it bolts on to one side of the sensor and the other side of it is round. so you can put the filter on
