Please help

Hi All,

First I want to say this was a great DIY. I'm new at modding and this worked out well for me.

I've got a couple of concerns. First, I didn't take the plastic off the battery but was still able to get the intake in. Yes it's tight, but it did fit. One of the reasons why I didn't take the plastic off the battery (yes, please laugh) was that I wasn't necessarily sure how to disconnect the battery. So if anyone can explain that I'd love to hear it.

Secondly, the thing sits really close to the coolant hose. I even bent the bracket as I could, but I still think it sits way to close.

Finally, I know there's a tight fit in the engine bay, but right now, I feel like I actually lost power/torque/throttle response with this thing. I even performed the idle learn procedure this morning as specified in the fit service manual -- still I feel the same. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this might be? It feels like I've got extra load on the engine, as if the A/C were on. I also get hesitation on the throttle, like the ECU is thinking about things.

If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
