The engine cover fits above it.

Post by: cmdrfire on August 01, 2009, 05:52:00 pm: The EVOMs engine cover is absolute crap and not worth the money on. It's more difficult to take on and off (once you've got the aftermarket intake fitted) than the OEM cover, believe it or not.
I've been running without a cover since I got my dbilas intake.

Edit: And holy crapola I'm loving that Eurojet valve cover.

Post by: Cochese on August 03, 2009, 05:46:33 pm: I've got a forge intake and also haven't fitted a replacement cover. Doesn't really bother me what my engine looks like, just care about how the car goes :driver: :jumpmove: :driver:

That's the attitude I am taking now once my intake is fitted :happy2:
