Tools You'll need:

Phillips Screwdriver
Slotted Pliers
Torx 15 Driver

This image basically shows the points where the cover is attached:

First Step is to remove the torx screws holding the cover to the air intake:

Next Remove the sensor connection:

Use the pliers to release the hose:

Now to the cover itself:

You will need to use some pressure to pull the cover from the mounts.
I pulled up on the lower left corner and it will sort of pop free, like pulling
a cork out of a bottle. Repeat this with the other corners.

Finally you will need to wiggle the cover free from the engine compartment.
There is a down-tube on the back of the cover that requires some work to wiggle it free.

This Picture shows the back of the cover:

To remove the air filter simply remove the screws on the back of the engine cover.

The screws are numbered 1-5 so I removed them in that order

The filter cover then can be opened as so:

to remove this sensor, it's easiest to spin the lower body of the sensor around (make the VW/Audi symbol face downward) and use a flat-head screwdriver to pull up gently on the clip. The housing should separate easily from the gray sensor body.

total time was about 30 min to install, though 15 of that was trying to get the hose clamp back on with only a leatherman, rather than a pair of channel-locks. i had to bike down to autozone and pick up a set of proper pliers to finish it.

The K&N filter really improved throttle response and I think the power is better as well. The engine noise is slightly more throaty now as well. It will be interesting to see how the gas mileage changes as well.

The air flow was so good that the engine had to relearn the idle setting taking about 20 seconds to settle down to a normal idle. This was also apparent on the other RPM ranges as driving it seemed to be adjusting as I drove. After running through the gears for 10 minutes city driving it seemed to have the new flows learned though.

its insane that people are that rich and egotistical that they would actually cover their cars in precious metal...the amount of $ they must have to conceive of that as an option is mind bottling.

just take out the maf then.

i think it's a 20 torx.

it should be a tab release and pull scenario though.
