I got a saw and cut the bottom left corner off it (as you look at it in the engine bay. then attached some hose down to fornt of the arch liner.
this is because it's the furthest point from the engine so the air is less likely to be warm, gives an impressa type sounds to the induction, drill lots of holes isn't the way forward.
