Best Place For Cold Air Inlet?

[screamin']

Nice work. I went down this track with my R32 about 6 years ago, saw that a GTS-t had holes there for the intercooler piping and thought, that'll work!

I did the same thing with the 90° bend facing foward down in the bumper duct, but because it rains so damn much in NZ my air box got quite damp and the mesh over the pipe was always full of bugs. So version two was developed.

If you still have a plastic inner guard you can do this:

I cut the hole bigger, into more of a rectangle shape.

Because the intercooler cavity in the bumper is a high pressure area (when you don't have holes into your wheel arch) the air will naturally go out any gap, the biggest and easiest of which being the one below my filter in the air box.

All the bugs fly straight into the inner guard infront of the wheel and the cleaner/drier air into my airbox.

Far simpler and less plastic bits to fall off!

Exactly your are right, I was thinking of doing same before as I stll have the inner guard, but since everyone is putting a pipe through, I was like what the hell......hehehe ..........mmmmmmmmm well then if get any troble with H2O, this is the B plan

Hi guys

If you have non-turbo and want to box your pod this clear case looks great and is easy to install

Pics included in the post and if you want more air forced into the case ive seen this case cut to include the original air intake that sits under the bonnet.

What do you think guys????
