August 4, 200520 yr Well I finally got the fenderwell cut out for the intake I got from an '01 WRX. The full AEM cai kit I picked up for 60 bucks and also came with a K&N cleaning kit as well. There is one section I couldn't use since it one, held the stock MAF for the WRX and two, made everything extremely long so it wouldn't fit also. So I used the piece that goes into the fender with the filter on it and got it all mounted too. I then used about $100 worth of 4 ply silicone hoses and some aluminum tubing as well. I got it all in but I still need to make some minor adjustments of everything and get it all cleaned up nicely. Here are the links to the pics... inside the fender under the hood I will be putting the stock splash tin back on to protect the filter but I didn't get to it before I took the pics.
August 4, 200520 yr Cool, there's a lot of blue hoses . Cold air intake on a turbo? ... oh yeah, i guess the colder the air going in, the colder it is going out. Great idea. I'm gunna steal it.
August 4, 200520 yr That is truly beautiful!!! It's a very, very clean install. You deserve a giant pat on the back for a job well done!!! Keep up the good work! Patrick
August 4, 200520 yr very slick, and an awesome pic of how to hook up the wategate solenoid and boost switch
August 4, 200520 yr Author well all of my blue silicone hoses I THINK are right. I looked at my buddy's '87 turbowagon to get some sort of idea on how they go. I'm also plumbing in the solenoid for my EBC so I'm still a little confused on where everything should go.
August 7, 200520 yr Author what did you do about your washer fluid reservoir? eh I'm still working on that. I'll probably relocate it to the other side or something...
August 8, 200520 yr ew.... i got a 3" mandrel bent U shaped pipe from summit for ~$20. im gonna have that chopped in half, and ill put my cone filter on the end where the stock airbox resonator used to be. i should be clear of the fluid resevoir. looks to be a tight fit as far as the turndown from the MAF. i suppose its hard to make a short radius bend with 3" pipe. my main concerns now are supporting the pipe, and trying to ensure that i wont suck water in.
