5KTQ Cold air intake

[Haydn Taylor]

Hi Jim

Thanks for the info, thats just waht I needed to know. I work in the
Industrial Design industry using 3D CAD and Rapid Prototyping all the sime,
so I will probably end up modelling all this in CAD and then getting the
parts made up.

I have 2 main goals here, the first being to get as much room in that area
as possible and secondly to get a nice cold air intake away from the turbo.

I'll let you all know how I get on.

Thanks


Haydn
