Induction/Cone filter location help?

[AngelOCC]

Hi everyone,
Was wondering if anybody had any pictures of where they have routed Induction/Cone filters and piping in their engine bays?

I've got a 1.9tdi PD130 and ive recently got a CF enclosed cone filter and just been playing around with positions in the tiny bit of free space where the OEM airbox sits and just cant seem to find a decent place for it to sit/route piping without there being loads of tight bends, which will make airflow bad.

Any pics/tips would be good.
Also, please don't comment with 'cone filters are rubbish, get a green pannel filter with the bigger intake pipe', if I wanted to do that, I would of .

Thank You

Ashley

Chris how did you make that pipe work to the SMiC I.e what did you need? Also is the Jose that connects the maf to the inlet mani just an 80mm 45* bend?

Mine looks like the above but in yellow.

I used a 76mm hose for the filter

Was about £18 I think, came from AP Motorstore on ebay. I think the leg lengths were 150mm long (standard length) but the leg onto the filter had to be cut a little bit so the filter would fit in. Just type 76mm 45 degree silicone in ebay and it should come up

I've always used Samco on any car I've ever had, and never had a problem with them. So its worth a little extra. Plus, when I've bought mine, I bought them all in one go and got a good discount.
