So today ladies and gents i present to you the next topic in this saga to pick holes in.....

COLD AIR INDUCTION!!!!
(and just when individuals thought this thread had gone cold.... get it [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY])

So yeah this is currently a work in progress but im sure you'll get the pointless idea of what im doing.

So theres 4 steps to this plan

- Heat shielding
Plan to move the airfilter to where the abs once was and produce a heat sheild to stop the air filter sucking warm air off the rad.

- larger induction pipe
No secret im still on the standard hdi intake pipe modified. If memory serves me it hits somthing like 38 or 51mm at its smallest section. As much as every guy wishes his misses could suck a golf ball through a straw this just dosnt work out for getting air in the engine. Turbo intake is 60mm so im gonna attempt to get that diameter all the way to at least the maf. Gonna be tricky with limited space so brackets will have to be made to support ash 2ply flexi away from the exhaust.

- cold ducting from the bumper
As it says a trumpet ducted from the fog to under the filter. Will mean hole sawing the inner wing to fit a trumpet for the exit which unless stated to me other wise i believe will need reinforcing after. This will be fully black... no show off "look im an air feed trumpet" shiney stuff here.

-custom made lower boost pipe to remove restrictions
If im going to the extent to free up the intake id be a fool to not address the bottle neck that is the lower boost pipe. Think thats all what needs saying on this topic.

Ok... so this is the start ive made. Heat shield as described made from 2mm stainless so extremley over kill [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Decided to stick with my large k&n as dont really think a filter that large will be a restriction. Kept it simple, 70mm 45° taking it straight up to the maf. New bracket for the maf and some old hacked up pipe later and they you go.. a very bodged up heatshield.. not sure if i like the looks of it but in the long wrong should see some minor gains with the rest of the work
