2. Next is the air filter. To remove it you have to detach the two air intakes from both sides. There are two latches you have to detach for each one. Be careful with the one one the left as it's pretty fragile (broke mine). You can use a flat tip screwdriver. Once the latches are detached you have to pull each of the intakes firmly until it disconnects from the air filter - this requires a good pull! After the intakes are out you just have to pull the filter up and you're done.
3. Next is the sound proofing sheet - you just lift it that up - make sure you note down its position.
4. Finally there is a rubber cover covering the common rail which you don't have to fully remove - just peel it back so that you expose the common rail and the plug.
5. Unplug and install your box's connector as instructed.

Re-attach in reverse order. Make sure your box does not touch hot engine parts, is firmly secured and the conduits are kept clear of any moving parts (e.g. belts). You may be tempted to leave the box under the sound proofing of the engine - but don't - too much vibration and heat. Make sure it's properly fastened.

Hope this helps. Took me 30 mins to figure it out the hard way ;-)
Thanks Breach. You saved my arse today!
Is everyone happy with there Spider Boxes? Did 100 odd k's with mine today and it's got a bit more pull but nothing like their claims
