Countryman All4 - Engine bay modifications
Did some trimming to the cowl. Plan is to use the area where the battery is once I relocate it to the rear of the car. I attempted to do a WRC style cowl. I also sealed the front of the hood area better.
Engine bay now
Before engine bay for reference
New front hood sealing
WRC engine bay :P
I still have a few things to do before the engine bay is done. The area where the battery is currently sitting is where I will most likely put the coolant tank. Maybe the OCC, if it fits too.
I need to:
Finish the final version of the CAI intake (w/heat shielding)
Relocate/replace OE coolant reservoir tank
Relocate the battery to the boot

There's limited space since some stuff is in the way (hot side tube, overflow tank, engine, etc) and for whatever reason the MAF needs a bend before or after it so it doesn't read funky. full 3" tubing so it's not restricted. I do agree, it is a little more material than I'd like. Works well though and sounds great.

If you own it, all you need to do is measure it.
If you don't I'd just stick with stock. Stock box can flow way more then stock turbo can handle and will do the same thing as the DoS, just without the extra cost. I want to say I read somewhere that the stock box can handle flow to support close to 300hp.
The only reason I am building my own is because I know I was going to a bigger turbo and I wanted my intake away from the back of the engine, where all the heat gets pushed at speed. Mine will eventually have a box around it to keep all the heat out.

The 3" downpipe from ATP is a pretty solid piece.

My current setup up. Installed ignition coils and spark plugs, cleaned up the catch can tubing,
put on some heat reflective wrap on the intake -- I want to do that for the cold side IC pipe
too -- cleaned up the engine bay, and installed a new filter.
I want to relocated the battery to the trunk, relocated the coolant reservoir (to where the
battery currently is), port the exhaust manifold and exhaust housing, and a few other minor
things before I put the 50mm turbo on...
