There's lots of talk of it, but I'm going to ask some questions to clarify my understanding of it.

I'm keeping the airpump in place. Will a 92-95 civic intake (what most people seem to use) still fit?

There's a nipple for the BOV. What about other stuff, like the sensor that plugs in?

My only tool will be a hacksaw. Can't do any welding or stuff. Will this be sufficient?

 

Getting around the air pump is the problem.

The stock CAI is not perfect, but it's not that bad either.

Unless you are fabricating a new CAI, what you gain in flow you loose in air temperature.

 

So a civic intake won't fit with the airpump in place? Thanks. Oh, and I've just got a simple box setup with a filter and some air funneled up from below.

 

I'm going to replace the TID because this is my second one with a tear near the turbo.

My friends have bought the FD TID setup off of Ebay and successfully used it to make a CAI as well.

Prettty cool.
It snakes down into the fender where the washer bottle is.

They are running a Haltech and have intake temp numbers to prove it works.
