With the aircon compressor and rad in the way you are not going to be able to move it to anywhere worth moving it to.

humm i know i have done alot of searchin over the last few months just wondered if i missed anything.

possibly a different rad would allow you to move it to a worth while place without ditching the air con??

just throwing some idea's up for grabs

interestin idrees but not much use if you have the headlight still in?
the main problem is the efi pipe being close to such heat from the turbo + mani i guess.might have to see if i can come up with some sort of heat shield type thing but that would involve using my brain :(


would some sort of heat reflective wrap help around the efi pipe atal?

I did that 'cos I'm cool. Not sure how much difference it actually makes but when its cold at night I swear it feels a bit more responsive, but I'm not sure if I'm imagining things :homer:

However, it definately gets more air in this position compared to the stock position.

As lots of ppl do it this way, behind the lamp, as i still have the AC. you can also have a few air feed direct into the filter. As i have a FMIC, the bonnet scoop no use to me any more, so i have 2 pipes coming form the scoop to the filter.
Another air feed you can do is from the fog lamp up to behind the lights, when you look between the lamp and the fuse box, theres a round rubber cover, take it out, than have a air feed from there to the fog.

No i don't get you. The one off the dump valve connects up to the throttle body and the other 2 are disconnected.
