Which I'm sure will happen at some point in the future when Gina begins moving in the direction God intended...... :mrgreen:

You could try something similar and possibly add insulation to the hotside plumbing inside the box to minimise heat transfer inside the box.

Yeah, I've read through your thread and noticed the rerouted plumbing that made it possible. I still have the plumbing in place and was deciding whether it was worth the effort as is. Might just wait until i get the ECU, injectors and tune done and then get Dann to do the reroute at the same time. Then I'll do the airbox with cold air feed from the foglight as you've done.
