better yet- since i just got off my graveyard shift and am feeling more braindead than usual, if anyone wants to help a noob brother out over the phone PM me with your number (no canadians, please, my work won't take kindly to that).
don't expect any phonesex, tho

here is what I did with the vacuum line holder..
I popped the bracket out of the OEM rubber intake and unbolted the bracket. Re-bolted it back on at a different angle so I could pinch the 90-bracket between the two bolts. I also went to Lowes and picked up a foot or so of 1/2" plastic hose and sliced it all around so I could use it as a buffer so the metal intake doesnt bump my inner panel. It's pretty thick stuff and you can chose between clear, white or black hose? It's the beverage line I believe? Shrugg, it was only ~$1/ft.
Hope this helps.

PS yeah, my engine is dirty. That's what living with snow/salt does for us here in good 'ole Ohio.

ok. i think i figured this out...that rubber w/ the threads coming out from each end is to mount the "down" pipe into the wheel well. right?

" 2. The screw thing with a big rubber thing on it is what mounts the CAI to the car near where it goes into the hole." = the doohickie.
