Default Help for a induction kit

Hey guys/gals.

I'm looking at doing my "first" engine mod. I'm going to replace the factory air box with the blackwing product.

I would like to know "all" that is needed. ie: air bridge/MAF?...
I have a 2002 Coupe.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I put one on my 03 TR Z06. I am not that handy and found it to be an easy install. Easy to convert back to stock also. You don't need anything else, but I suggest a hood seal. The filter could get wet when washing, etc. because of it's location. As far as an air bridge, I have heard they are more for bling and don't really help performance. They are expensive also. I'm sure more will chime in.
