Only thing that i might struggle with is the induction hose. Going to need some from the throttle body to the AFM, then from the AFM to the air filter.
hmmm

keep the induction pipe and use the end part from the tb to the afm. ive got a stainless pipe which was ment to go from the afm to an induction kit. you can have it if you want it bud
i had a similar inlet but couldnt be arsed to fit it as i was unsure if it would fit. (thats where i got the stainless pipe from)

They have everything needed to fit them to a x14 or x16
but a c16 im not sure. Im also told fitting is different as there is 1 less vacuum pipe with the c16
