Trying to fiddle things around the engine bay to make it easier for the FMIC pipework routing and without relocating the battery.
Have angled the intake to the turbo downwards, so that the filter is tucked down behind the radiator....You may think this gets hot as did I, but after messing about with a thermometer...the air temps here are amongst the lowest in the engine bay and in a more or less constant airflow....anyway...heres things as they stand so far...am waiting to put the FMIC in when I gat an MR2 Apexi PFC put in.........and a new clocked hybrid turbo...expecting some descent power then smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

I cant put the battery there, as thats where the pipework for the FMIC will eventually go...exiting the car via the origional cold air feed for the standard air box
