I was planning on upgrading from my Vararam intake to the VCM. (I really like the look a lot better.) Anyway, I'm a tard and didn't realize the VCM clips into those existing tabs that line the front of the G8 engine bay. Unfortunately, I'm missing one of the tabs (passenger side) so I'm not sure if the VCM will be held in place well enough.
Now I can't be for sure, because I didn't notice this until months later, but I remember noticing this tab was first broken on my car back in late 2011. Earlier that summer, I had the car at the dealer for a week to get the oil pan gasket fixed and the 2-3 flare issue. They were definitely around the engine and like I said, can't be for sure, but if they're the ones who broke it...
Here's what it looks like:
So I've got the VCM but I haven't opened it all the way besides the main unit (which is when I noticed this). So what do other VCM owners think here? Will it still be held in place well enough with the other two? Or should I try to rig something up for the broken side? I could just keep the vararam if this looks impossible. I wonder if Improved Racing takes refunds
Thanks for any thoughts here!
