Default Anyone who has installed a takeda intake. HELP@!

The instructions stink. I am trying to install the shield and there seems to be a relay or something in the way. I unclipped it but dont know where to put it. maybe i am installing the shield in the wrong spot.

Any insiders that can help thanks, and pictures are cool.

THis is something they should have addressed on the design table.

The Joe Z is half that price and fits flawlessly.

Hell, the F-sport is barely more than $250, fits great, and comes with an expensive EO number to be legal in California!

take some pictures of the relay harness that's in the way of the heat shield.

otherwise, there isn't much the community can do in terms of help.
