Did u guys have to trim the rubber hoses from the turbo inlet to the BCS and the wastegate solenoid? It seems like the hoses are way too long.. Or am I doing something wrong?

It'll be awesome if someone can post a picture of the hoses to the solenoids. Thx!

Is there a stock air box mount that the AEM intake mounts to? My car came with a HKS intake. When I went to install the AEM i had no where to mount it to. If so looks like Ill have to spend another $30-$50 to fix stuff on this car that the previous owner failed to address.

yeah i had the same questions when i installed mine, the directions that aem provided were inadequate..black and white no directional indication with specific parts. I had to call them, to sort issues like this out, its amazing they cant provide better ones, with actual color.

after installing did anyone have any problems of the car performing less? for some resone my car is just not pulling form when it was when it was stock. I just dont get that peak pull after boost kicks in. Also, did anyone get the service engine soon light on?
