Hi Dan.

I milled the mating surface of the lower intake as much as I could and 
still get the injectors and rails in place, and the upper still rubs 
slightly on the underside of the engine cover.

It clears the decklid, but only just. The decklid covers a bit of the 
lower rear end of the upper plenum. Had it been slightly taller it would 
not have cleared the decklid. My decklid is probably slightly warped in 
that area too. A previous owner probably had clearance issues with the 
thick Hall aluminum air filter cover that was on the car when I bought it.

I believe that a Box-R will cause interference problems, but it might be 
simple to just cut and weld a notch in it to make it clear the decklid.

I'm not at home right now, otherwise I could have taken some photos for you.

Cheers,
Thomas
