CWR air box install?

How the hell do you get this in there? Is it supposed to hit everything and rub everything, and be impossible to reconnect the hoses to? I bought it from a great guy on the forum and now I am trying to install the bitch in the car. Its going next to a M2 intercooler. It is hitting the plugs on the fender well. The stock pipes cause the connections to scew sideways causing the filters to hit the side of the box. I can't figure a good way to recollect the smaller hoses without them hitting and rubbing everything and the stock BOVs gets jammed against stuff.

CWR products are known for not fitting correctly. You'll have to modify/trim the box a little to make it fit.

Thank goodness,

I'm not the only one... I spent half a day getting mine, and just barely, it still dosen't sit squarely, it's totally forced in there, it looks like my old friend mr dremel will have to give me a hand!

This is a beautifully documented CWR IC install, and gives you quite a few pics and tips on the CWR air box install as well:

A few customizations I noted are the hole made in the bottom of the box for a crossmember bolt, the airpump supply line T, and the solution for the lower turbo intake hose being too long.
