How do you remove the top of the airbox? I was trying to, I unhooked all the clips and it wouldnt budge. Are there more screws to take off?? Thanks in adavance.

should be just the four clips and it pulls right off, unless yours has never been removed and is cemented together. no additional screws.

Ok, ill try it again. It has some sort of resistance on one side, and i dont want to break it. Should i just keep pulling until it comes off???

I am pretty sure it has been off because it doesnt have the stock air filter (looks like a K&N). I managed to peak under there, but couldnt get it to come up. It seems like it is only resisting on the top left corner.

If you loosen the big air hose clamp and pull off the hose it's a lot easier to work with. Be very careful with the Mass Airflow Sensor connection, source of many gremlins if damaged.

is it easier to unclamp it from the TB or from the airbox.

The airbox, there are several hoses connected to the big hose if you unplug at the TB.
