Depends on what engine you have, if you have a c16xe you will need to swap the inlet manifold for the lower part of an x14xe/x16xe manifold to this you will be able to fit the PowerBox.
If you have an x14xe/x16xe all that is required is to remove the top part of the inlet manifold.
Hope that helps.
If you require a lower part manifold pm me as I may have one I can sell you.

Just seen the pics you posted up in another thread, from the image of the engine it would appear you have a black plastic inlet which tells me you have a C16xe, therefor you will need the lower x14/x16xe manifold.

Yep, going by the pics in your project, its a c16xe.
You will have to soure a lower inlet manifold from either a x14xe or x16xe. This is because the tops of them are flat, the c16xe one isn't flat, it has a locating rim on top.
Had to do the same when fitting a Mantzel to mine. Easy enough to do.

if you have a plastic inlet then you will need an x16xe lower manifold

Buy one that have been removed, the lower inlet is a right bastard to get off.

This will work.
