I have the same problem with my camry... the search button takes you on a 3 hour tour and you never find what your looking for. someone out there please say what fitting it is without sending us to the search button.

Rather than tell you the answer, I'll point you to a good thread because the answer isn't simple. There is a place right underneath the strut bar to screw the fitting in. There is a plug there currently. The problem is, it is too close to the strut bar. You'll see some people cut their strut bar to solve this issue. What I did was have a fitting tapped into the side of the sc housing because the clearance was so tight on mine that even with washers, it was hitting in reverse and making a terrible noise. Try this thread: http://www.zer0.info/solaraguy/viewtopic.php?t=3948&highlight=boost+fitting . I think with the stock 4psi boost, adding the CAI should not make your car run lean. Although, anytime you change your air flow, you might change the volumetric effficiency of the engine. -JoeB
