Okay,
Let me try this again. When my 'complete' air filter housing is bolted in (this means the one 13mm or 14mm bolt located toward the back of the car .ie bumper) I can push on the right (passenger side; top) of the box and it will move down. I can grab the part that the air comes down to the filter, and it will move down on that side. I took the complete box out and there are two 'pins' that are on the bottom, rear side, of the box but no rubber washers in the frame (part of the inner engine compartment) for the 'pins' to go into.
SOooooo, am I missing something or is the complete box kind-of loose?
Thanks for any help.

 

sounds to me like you are missing the rubber mount washers for the pins, or you are missing some rear 13mm bolts?? I think there are two or three mount bolts.

The assembly should be very solid. My best suggestion is to sign up over at www.renntech.org , post in the 996 section (introduce yourself while you're at it), and request advice from Loren. He may be able to post up a page from the tech manual showing the airbox diagram.

 

Thanks,
I'll try that.
