Hey ODIN!
I ended up doing mine twice coz the first time was a shocker, ie. inappropriate materials. Anywayz first things first, you have to figure out what sort of a setup your after... a few options are:
- Keep stock airbox and plumb in some 3inch or whateva you can fit hosing
- Remove Stock airbox and replace with cone filter and use a Ram Air System to feed air to the area
- relocate airbox to a more appropriate area in the engine bay, usually too much work as other things have to be moved (battery etc)...
Personally i found option 2 to be the best performance for my car.. but that could be becoz i have a turbo runnin 14psi which requires as much as possible rather than just the limited amount of cool air that the 3inch piping can feed into the engine...
First things first have a look your engine bay... look at how other ppl have done it and figure out some sort of ideal setup... then go off to pirtek hosing and get some ultra flexible hosing (the largest diameter you can fit in your setup) and get cracking.. took me about 3hours to do mine.. only thing i had to remove was a left front wheel and the splash shield.. nice increase in the end for what it is  |
