Originally posted by BRU_ce Another idea I just thought up would be to do a hood scoop by cutting off a small portion of the hump, like some of the aftermarket hoods do it. I could line the cut area with rubber liner to make it look nice, then mount the piping from the inlet of the turbo straight up to the scoop, and enclose the filter in such a way that the heat from below is blocked (by heat wrap) and receives all the fresh air as you drive. I would have to bracket the piping so that when I close my hood I don't knock it out of place. I could seal the filter to the scoop with a simple rubber countour piece that would flatten as the hood drops on it.
