You should be able to do simple searches and find a lot of answers to those questions. I dont know the answers but I know those have been asked before, probably many times, so try a search.

I know that the filter is under the car by the drivers side rear tire and it is just a matter of bolting it on.

The fuel filter sits behind the rear drivers foot well. It is an inline design, so it has a line on each side. You basically just unscrew the lines and pop the now one in. Make sure you use alot of PBblaster and let it soak, and the use line wrenches to take it off unless you want to replace your fuel lines also.

To remove the MAF screens, carefully use a razor around the circumference of the screens. Take your time, if you hit the little wire element inside, you're buying a new MAF. They aren't cheap either.

The plenum can be ported, but I'm not sure on what methods are best, or what it would cost. Someone else can answer that better than I could. Or you could try search, you'd probably turn up alot there

Take care,
Matt
