Air filter relocation, playing in the engine bay again Options

[Insanity-74]

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

Hope for at least 350BHP

looks very good!

although my thoughts on the filter where to move your battery back over the trans mount and then put a straight tube to locate your filter inside the fender...i'm not sure how possible that is for you but thats also another thought....looks very good though!

and yea man for a camera those are great pics

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

Well that set up didnt really work to my liking so heres set up number 2....sounds like a really rally car now...loads of induction growl, and lots of wastegate chatter.
