taking a wild guess hes asking if your going to end up turbo charging the car
cause i hope he doesnt imagine it could 'ram' air in at a higher pressure/amount

Looks great. I wont one of these for the rally car.

Did you still use the resonator or did you just go straight into the air box?

Isn't the car turbo already? I'm guessing it might be a '99 GT forest, which would um, make it turbo? Plus there's a scoop in one of the pics...

Lookin' good!

Have you run the car with the snorkel on yet? Any difference in induction and exhaust sound? and drive? I had a mate with a big turbo'd fourby that made an awesome sucking sound on boost through the snorkel, was sick for about 5 minutes then you kinda got over it in the passenger seat (where the snorkel was).

Whats the plan for the gap made between snorkel entry hole and bodywork?

What tip are you going to use? What brackets you using to secure it to the A-Pillar?

How is your powder coating gonna set you back?

Any chance you could move your pics into the thread? Just copy the url and press the picture icon in your post...

yeah, my car is turbo'd, well spotted scuby,
had it running a short distance with the snorkel, only a couple km's,
its been running for about a week or so with out the resonator air intake, and i have noticed it makes a louder whistling, but with windows up its hard to notice unless under firm acceleration, powdercoating is only 66 bux!!!
XD
with windows down there is a bit of a note, but i should get it back tomoro form the powdercoaters, then install in propely,

as to mount in to the A frame,
if you open the drivers door, then gently pry out the door seal along the inner roof line out of the track it sits in, the just let it dangle, you will notice 8 little screws holding the track in, undo most of them from the front, leaving one or two that are closest to the passenger door behind, then, there are 2 tabs welded to the pipe, sticking out, bent in place, with holes drilled, have to cut a lil bit of the rubber backing on the track to let those tabs fit a lil more flush, then pop all the screws back in,
its been a fiddly job, but im sure there will be endless benefits,
using rubber to line the edge of the hole, after i have primed it,
ive taken pictures of that part too, soo, they'll be up soon, and there will be the full set soon
