    YOu know the round thing on top, well you can twist the top part left and right... it should pop off... the door itself I'm not sure cause I think I bashed it off...

    i hooked up a ram air setup thru the bottom heater hose tube, and the door thingy is in the way and blocking the air,

    even tho i have the lid flipped the air being raming in will flow around the filter and will be sucked in also, it will also be colder, pics will be up as soon as i am finished

    You do realize bigger gap doesn't always = more performance. even with the coil.
