Okay, I installed my PRM intake today and I had a hell of a time. I really dont know much about cars. It took me three hours, mostly trying to find the right size tools and trying to figure out how to use the brackets in the kit to mount it. The instructions say to put the bracket on the clamp by the down pipe, not by the MAF, but there is no place to bolt it onto the car. Annoying. So I tried to find pictures on the net to see if I could figure out how other people did it, finally got it. So its in there, and I think its all good, the car starts. But I have a few questions for you guys:

The vacuum hose wasnt attached to my airbox, it looks like it broke off a while ago. Could not having it attached affect anything?

The other wires on the side of the airbox, where the vacuum hose was supposed to be attached, what do I do with those? Where can I mount them? (they were attached to the side of the airbox.)

Also, since I took the front part of the airbox out and (the part that goes above the radiator) it wont fit back in because the overflow resevoir is in the way, so now I dont have that little piece to place the hood stand in when its closed. What can I do about that?

Also, I noticed there is an air duct or something in the well where the pipe for the intake goes. It looks like it draws in air from under the car and it goes to the battery. Does the battery need cool air? Can I redirect that for my intake?


Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
