Right, but where does it go? Surely not instead of the main intake? Is there another inlet?Image

You meant this, right?

Remove the snorgel off the OE air box and fit one end of the trunking to it the other end that then other end as per Nick skuzzle needs to go through the bulk head into the skuttle area to collect the cold fresh air for the air filter, and yes that is what i was talking about, they do the ends in different colours.

A UK Mk2 might not have space anywhere to put a tube through a hole in the rear panel though as the ABS unit & brake pipes are in the way.

Where the ABS block and pipes are missing on your car :lol:

I'm sure someone more helpful could come up with a picture to show what they mean...

Actually, I just did a quick Google Images search for Randall Cowl and I got a lot of very useful pictures. I'm sure some of them will have useful links...

Ah ha, got it now right up there! Wow! I can imagine that the pressure would be quite high there and slow moving air too, good call!

Either match the inlet to the airbox or mod the airbox and use the biggest possible. 2.5" will fit.. 3 im not sure.
