[s-cars] removing AIR-Box needing MAF tube HELP

[chris chambers]

Teddy,

rest assured the stock airbox will fit with either
the 2871 or 3071 turbos.

When installing my 3071 it was discovered (due to the turbo size)
that the motor mounts were worn out and needed replacing, this had
caused the motor to lower placing the turbo too close to the airbox.

After replacing the motor mounts there was enough clearance.
