Default Please Help! - Air filter change Focus RS mk1

Hey guys,
I have a Pipercross Viper Kit for my Focus RS, and I have some troubles to mount it because there are lots of screws and mounts in the package and I don´t know what it is everything for. And Pipercross does not deliver a how to mount manual like K&N does

Ok lets start with my problems(I will post pics too).

I already dismounted the stock airfilterbox, and I guess that the hose from the turbo to the airfilterbox (the one with the 3 holes for boost control etc.) stays where it is and is the connection between the turbo and the filter.
Here I have the first problem because when i fit the filter to the hose it has noticeably clearance. Maybe the rubber bands which came with the filter are there to lower the clearance.

Ok further I know that the hole in the side of the filter (behind the filter foam) is for the air mass sensor mount.
But I don´t know how to mount the filter to the frame. I mean there were some screws in the package that seem to belong the the clamps. And some kind of an iron elbow (~45degree with holes in it), seems to be a mount for something but I don´t know what it´s for.

The stock intake hose is still in room in front of the wheel arch, and the wheel arch cover is mounted with clips, not screws. Is there any trick not to damage these clips when dismounting the wheel arch cover?


Ok I know this is a lot I´m asking but maybe there is someone who already mounted a Pipercross Viper kit and knows how to do it.

I hope you can help me!
Stefan

PS: Sry for my englisch, I´m from Austria
