pretty easy, if the air con rad is still in place yee can not doe this tho.. basically its a 90 degree piece of hard pipe, a few silicone hoses and a filter then just secure filter to somewhere by any means..

i just made up mine using different pipes

Of course you can drive in the rain or snow or any conditions you want as long as it's not off roading and you don't hit the flood.

not at all hope that inspired you.

i chose that filter element very carefully with the intercooler core i made as you can see they fit together perfectly. didn't have to cut the bumper at all either :)

i went with the blitz sus element because its the only filter that is lifetime, where the hks or similar need cleaning or replacement elements, and that would require taking the bumper off to gain access. with this one there is enough room i can get an airline to clean the element without having to strip half the front of the car out to get access. also being steel if it gets wet it won't saturate and stop flowing.

wouldnt use that flexi pipe if you paid me.... id imagine alot of turbulance in there as the turbo starts spooling

So you're saying that flexi is bad because of the turbulence? All I can say is, that it's a cheap mod and a million times better than the standard setup, However, I respect your opinion regarding my relocation. I personally don't see any harm in that flexi, it's cheap, heat resistant and flexible and indeed it does create vortex, but I don't see why not!

It might be not the best looking but it does the job pretty well.

Tim [Mr2Turbored] - has a very nice looking setup, perfectly engineered like with everything he does, indeed. Bad no AC, so it wouldn't suit me, I had to come up with an idea of relocating the filter and keeping the AC and proud to announce that I have succeeded.
