As i mentioned last week I've moved the air filters into the side pods, i believe the benefits to be : the noise is insane if pressing on, the filters are drawing cold air from the pod/scoops instead of warm air above that rear turbo, the intercooler now gets 100% of any air that does go down into the box, the pipe lengths between turbos and filters are within 5 cm of each other, 100-105cm vs the standard 40-130cm.

I cut a few bits of the pro alloy pipe re-used/welded with other bits and bought the one 45 bent bit for the front turbo from ebay for £12. once I've tried it for a while i will remove the joins and get one solid pipe welded for the front turbo.

Looks good.

I might do this at some point. Did you cut away inside the pod. Have you pics?

That looks great, you have inspired me to also make hard pipes.
