Turner Motorsport CSL Airbox

[ATB88]

Not an actual issue, I'm just being picky.

Ahhh I see.

Getting excited now! Finally finished up my brembo swap so that should roll nicely into this.

Ugh.. I haven't received any notification of shipping.. I was hoping to install for an event at Roebling Road in a little over 2 weeks. The car needs a little shake down after all of the modifications completed.

So when our box ships we will get tracking info? If so, who is sending the info, Leighton or Turner?

In my case neither. I had to ask Turner to see if it had shipped yet, and it turns out it had shipped last Thursday so they gave me the tracking after I asked.

I received mine a few days ago, got the normal ecs tuning shipping warehouse tracking notifications from fedex.

It’s here, and it’s gorgeous! Mine came with the TMS sticker already on it, which is annoying. No defects as far as my eye can see.

Can anyone suggest the best way to get the TMS sticker off without risking any scuffing/damage to the finish? I've never owned anything like this so I don't know what products/tools play nice with the finish.

Also, noticing two extra threaded holes on the bottom of the box (see Turner's stock photo here: https://3a663eb0fef48c6d2d60-a88f8eb...4242_x800.webp)

There are the two threaded holes that are far a part which is where the mounting grommets thread in to attach the box to the support bracket underneath, like the stock airbox. But what are the other two little holes (the ones close together in the picture) for? Are they supposed to mount to something? They thread straight through into the box itself, so, they need to be used for something else you'll have a big vacuum leak...

I see that on stock photos of the Karb box there's a little bracket attached there (https://karbonius.net/wp-content/upl.../E46AD03_3.jpg)... but the Turner box just has the holes, and there were no other parts advertised as needed for installation other than CCV hose, throttle boots, shutoff valve, MAP solution and IAT. Am I missing something?

This?

[ATB88]

This?

Ah nuts, yeah that's it. It's the thing that the valve attaches to underneath, makes sense. Wish it had been offered with the "installation package", since it's needed for installation. RIP lol ECS is sold out until September, but it looks like Schmiedmann might be able to get it quickly..

[Obioban]

You could probably skip it and let that valve float in the short term

Seems like a perfect candidate for some permanently mounted zip ties

Is there any other kind? lol

Feels weird sitting here, 2.5 years into e46 m3 ownership, with the big expensive mod that I told myself that I'd never waste money on because it couldn't possibly be worth it sitting on my coffee table staring me in the face.

Also, check for a similar threaded hole on the side of the unfiltered section, facing the cubby where the ecu sits. Might not be there on the Turner box, but it's there on the OEM and Karbonius boxes. This is the attachment point for the starter cable bracket (11617835163). Make sure to at least plug the threaded hole so as to avoid sucking unfiltered air in.

Edit: from looking at the pictures posted, it appears that the Turner box doesn't have this threaded hole.

Don't worry, it'll be worth it.
