   For a fellow salopian
   1. Undo the jubilee metal clip on the airbox where it joins the throttle body at the back of engine bay
   2. Loosen the bolt towards the front of the airbox
   3. Lift out the airbox (should come straight out with a bit of jiggling about)
   4. Depending on type of pipercross you have attatch it onto the throttle body at the back of the engine bay with a jubilee clip/cable ties, and maybe some extra piping if needed.
   
   Hope this helps you mate

    thats pretty severe, but thats while it was standing still? surely the air rushing through the engine at speed would help slightly? doesnt feel like i lost any when i fitted it though.
