before anyone asks, i searched pop charger+snorkel and ran threw 3 pages without finding anything.


so, i just installed my pop charger today, must say i'm a fan.


however, i didn't have a drill so i couldn't get the tiny screws that go into the snorkel. i figured this was just to keep it more stable? however my brother with a g35 has a pop charger and doesn't even have a snorkel he claims. he just used the ledge mount and has been fine.

do i have anything to worry about? and if so, could i totally remove the snorkel? it looked to me as just a better connector for the stock airbox.

 

Isn't heat shield attached to the snorkel by two little screws that you have to drill the holes for? Yes it is!

for some reason i can't view pdf, i'll get my hands on a drill. but either way, does anyone else find it odd that the g35 only used the ledge mount?

 

i think its plenty stable when just mounted to the ledge.... and didnt bother to screw it into the snorkel when i installed mine

 

haha thanks man, forget it then.

 

I just installed my heatshield today. I didn't even use a drill. The plastic snorkel isn't that strong at all. I just took a screwdriver, and screwed it in the plastic. Whats the big deal? I'd screw it in there. It took me a total of 2 mins to do.

 

I just have one screw in the snorkel. Works fine. Just install the heat shield. Use a paperclip to make a small spot through the screw hole. Take off the snorkel, make a hole, then install and screw.

 

nah i have the heatshield on, just not screwed into the snorkel.

i made holes using a thumbtack, but the god dayumed screw kept falling down into the depths.

 

then you have the heatshield on halfass. Whats the big deal in screwing it in? Why be halfass with a $35k + sports car? Do it right man!

 

I heated up a small screw driver with a torch and jammed it through the snorkel to make a hole for the screw. Worked out fine for me!

 

I a such a pain screwing that in.. I just got one in and so far so good..
