Intake woes

Intake woes
Today I pulled a dumb move (or maybe it's just the POS design of the engine cover) while taking the engine cover off to clean my Carbonio intake filter. I disconnected the Carbonio carbon snout and the inlet tube. Three tugs and snap..the top cover broke-crap! Now I'm faced with getting raped at the Audi dealership for a new cover, or buying a used one (anybody have one for an 06?) or going a different route with a new intake that eliminates the cover. My question is which replacement will do the job? Thanks for your help.

That sucks!
I have the stock cover, but I was kinda holding on to it in case I sell the car. The dealer will charge you about the same rate as a new CAI. My suggestion would be to buy a new CAI, and sell the Carbonio to somebody else.
Cheers!

Thanks to Vincent I'm back in business. He offered his 1 month old complete air box/cover. Just installed it. Any advise in how to avoid breaking this cover the next time I clean the filter? Any tricks on how to pop this off would be appreciated. Dan

RE: Intake woes
You must be one tough ****. I apply a good deal of pressure around each side, rotating until you can get each side to pop off. Just don't keep tugging and tugging on one area.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that anymore. Sorry.
Cheers!
