[Biturbos4] First of my own wrenching of my '01 S4

[dap128]

I know where that clip goes, but its kinda difficult to explain.  It goes on
the air inlet next to the airbox... look at the bottom center of this one of
your pictures:

Clips on the inside of that inlet to the airbox and holds the plastic pipe
pictured here:

in place.

Perhaps someone can explain it more clearly than that :)
