   brought a raceland enclosed induction kit with the green filter of kam racing but cant seem to get it to fit properly at all :/ . I drive a MK2 VTR and the brackets are shoddy so if anyone can help me i will be greatly appreciated, with as much explaining as possible as trying to get it to fit with a really good flush fit. thank you all

   What i did with mine, was the front two holes near the slam panel, instead of putting a bolt through them at either side i put a cable tie through, and cable tied it to the standard holes in the slampanel.
   
   If that makes sense? =\

   Everyone has this problem. For some reason Raceland didnt design them to fit?
   
   Make a custom bracket would be your best bet for keeping it tidy

   thanks mate but can you be more specific mate, fitting a custom bracket doesnt massively help pal, pictures, sizes, etc will be more beneficial thanks

   supposed to be good, got one with the green air filter which cost me £116, does look snazzy and gives the best increase as forces air in but is such an arse to fit, if could get help or whatever we can help the other members with the same problem and be so much better

    Is the Simota or Green kit a better fit?

    cable tied mine. its an arse of a job as the engine moves, but the slam panel doesn't. add the 2 together and it soon loosens/snaps bits
