Chad - I have been looking into this for some time. Are you still going to feed inlet air from the engine cover? As for the IC inlets, I believe you have widened rear arches now? DP do some nice larger air inlets that are made for wider rear arches. I have some for my project.

No, the two inlets are at the fenders about six inches from the turbo's This is under the car.

Regarding the IC's, not refering to the air inlets cooling the IC coils. I am refering to the piping from the turbo compressor housing to the IC and exiting the IC. Basicly the the IC inlet and outlet at the IC tanks.

So you have really nice short intake piping. That will explain why the MAF's are now at the TB? Did you think about junking the MAF set up for a pressure sensing system instead? Need pictures!

There isn't enough space to run the size intakes we need from the existing air filter location. With the current Bosch ecu we are using, MAF makes life so much easier and less expensive.

A better part always seems to pop up. Just can't bare the thought of tearing down the motor to add it later. This is all in good fun.

Excellent news. After following this thread for the past few years, it's genuinely exciting for an outside party like me to read about the whole project coming to fruition.

Good luck, and I hope KA exceeds all your expectations!
