Hi,

Does a template exist for cutting the hole in the bulkhead when fitting the DOS intake? If not does anyone know how big the hole is meant to be?

 

Hi, When I installed mine I found someone else's install pictures and used them as a guide.

there were enough reference points to get close. I started small and reamed the hole until the seal and housing fit correctly.

the hole was larger than I expected to install the seal in the firewall and fit the intake.

If you send me (PM) an email address I can send you the pictures I used and of mine installed.

 

I've just sent you a PM.

 

I sent the picture I used as a guide via email.

let me know if you need anything else.

 

I still have the full instructions uploaded at the link below. It has 2 sets of measurements depending on which model you have.

oops, I forgot there were 2 types

the type that chrunck has and the type I have that looks more like a K&N Apollo

so I guess it depends on which one you are looking for.

either way one of them will help you get it installed

 

Oh right I couldn't remember if the older version was for the R53 or R56. Like you said, hopefully he'll be set either way.

 

Just seen there has been extra replies on here... no email notifications even though instant notification is turned on.

All received...

I've got the K&N Apollo version... just having fun with the Alta aluminium intake pipe that came with the intake at the moment... looks like I've been supplied with the JCW version and I have an S so the turbo inlet is smaller.

Alta suggested either sleeving the turbo or fitting a JCW turbo. The joys of using American parts brought in Germany and being fitted to a UK based car.

 

Very curious of where did you manage to find this intake. i thought DOS is closed and you cant find one anymore
There are 2 versions?
V1= Straight pipe filter
V2= Curved and sits where AEM goes

Any idead if which of those two performs better?I guess V2?

is there any source i can find any?
Thank you
