Let me know what you find out - I'm about to change the filter on mine.

Okay, just how the hell are you supposed to change the air filter in a
'91 200?!?  I can see the clips on the sides of the air filter housing,
but there is a lot of other turbo stuff in the way which prevents me
from being able to get my hand down in there to unclip or reclip them. 
If I were to undo the clips, it doesn't look like there is any room to
move the housing away from the mount in order to get the filter in/out. 
I'm sure people change these things all the time, but how do they do it?
One of the great Audi mysteries.  There must be an easier way.  Any
ideas?
