Instead of using the hood scoop as my source of airflow, I used the space next to the light. I'm not sure if this will be my final configuration, I just wanted to see what everyone thought.


I'm going to utilize the hood scoop for my next one. I'll be interested to see if there's a noticeable difference.

 

Meh, Duell has and intake that fits similar. I have though about this myself for awhile.

 

I've been more than happy with the results. Especially the sound!

 

Nice work Do you notice any difference in throttle response, other differences? It's got to sound good.

Be careful with the placement/location of the MAF...they are very sensitive and picky on this car

If you aren't having issues though, then awesome, looks cool!

 

Nice. Complicates oil filter replacement a bit, though, I'd guess.

 

What would be some signs of improper placement of the MAF? I haven't noticed any problems, but then again, I'm not sure what I'd be looking for.

 

I definitely noticed a difference in response. I couldn't be happier!

I'll have to upload a video of the sound at some point. It sounds like I'm running a turbo twice the size of what I actually have. ;o)

 

basically a CEL light would pop up.

Awesome job! i'm actually going to do this project next week! glad someone else has the same idea! ;]

but i'm actually going to try to do the same as Duell AG set up and see how that goes, but i love ur idea too! can u do a vid of it! thanks!

 

I'll try to take a video tomorrow, as it's too dark tonight.

I'll be interested to see how yours turns out. Be sure to post pictures!

 

Will do! what was ur pipe's diameter? i ordered mine a 3" which i tink is wayy to big but i'll still play with it LOL also if you don't mind me asking, what is the degree bend on urs?? just in case mine doesnt work out xD!

 

You mean something like this?

I ran my car with a cut up ALTA tube for awhile but the MAF was not happy so I decided on a DIY DOS type setup. I have thought about trying it again and like that you didn't have to relocate the overflow tank.

 

Looks good, out of interest what did you use to fab the connection tube?

 

I'd love to hear what it sounds like.

 

I second that.

I'd also like to see a parts list and hear if this caused a CEL or not.

 

Especially if you can hear the turbo spool up a lot more.. I might have to get rid of the K&N!
