well check this out. Im working on the turbo project and i have a dig cam w/ me. ill be taking pics of everything 4 ya guys. ANYWAYS look at my CAI. its been on for 1.5 yrs mabye. it was installed correctly and worked great but CAN YOU SEE THE HOLE. I believe it was rubbing againsted the part where the pliers are pointing to. I THINK, it is the motor mount. there is some silver on the edge. i did lower the car about 2" mabye more but THIS SHOULDNT LOWER THE MOTOR MOUNT. check your CAI, who knows how long its been like this and who KNOWS what might be in the motor
