Ok, I have 2 questions. How would I put a CAI on my 1.8? It has the huge MAF on it, is there anyway I can convert it? And the second question is I pulled off the air cleaner lid to find oil in the bottom of the air cleaner canister, I think the oil is coming from the hose that goes to the valve cover. Please help. BTW: the oil didn't get on the MAF.
 
The oil in the intake is normal. Change your PCV valve and/or put a inline clear filter in there to catch the oil. As far as the cold air intake goes you can buy then off of ebay. There are a million of them out there you just have to search.
 
Yeah, but there was ALOT of oil in there, therefore making the engine smoke. Also will the MAF fit on a CAI?
 
If there was that much oil in it you have excessive blow-by therefore your rings are shot. As far as the MAF goes they do coem with the couplers for them but you have to be careful not to get one that is to long to you have to splice the wire's.
 
Well, it had a compression test before I bought it and it was ok. It drives fine, but what someone told me is that the PCV is clogged therefore the pressure is going to the hose on the left side of the valve cover and is pulling oil into the TB, making the engine smoke.
