Tegiwa intake

[anabolic-bear]

Hi guys,

I fitted the tegiwa intake last night, checked this morning to make sure all was good and I noticed that the bonnet had hit the intake and left a mark on the airbox.

Is this usual?

Cheers

Pretty much. And it'll rattle like hell.

lots and lots and lots of foam tape required, renewed every couple of weeks.

Is this the carbon airbox (gruppe-m rep)? Fitted mine nearly a year ago and haven't had an issue?

Fitted mine 2 weeks ago, complete pain in the arse and the instructions are terrible so found the original Gruppe M ones and followed those.

Not had it rattle yet though (touch wood).

Only gripe I have with it at the moment is the carbon box sits painfully close to the head of the heatshield bolt, if I stick a protective pad on it it‘ll rub 😩

Hoping to sort a bolt out with a low profile head from a local fasteners to resolve that one.

Yeah fitting was a Ballache! Guess I'll have to put a pad to stop it damaging the airbox. Cheers lads

I used 2 furniture foot protection pads just where the box meets the strut brace, I might have got lucky though as the way I‘ve modified the scuttle means that it goes some way in securing the box in position too.
