Is this the one that sits behind the passenger side headlight?

I have considering using that as well but not sure what to do with the charcoal canister for the emissions stuff..

Im running a pod atm, but its a short term item until I get the go ahead from the engineer.

I used a alloy canister from a TD42 Turbo kit i think... Was a PITA to fit with a second battery.

Sorry for the size of the picture. Where the bolt is in the side of the outlet will today have the diff / gearbox breathers attached to it.

I custum built a box and fitted where the A/C evaporater use to be ie. inside the cab. I didn't have room in the engine bay with twin shocks sticking through the inner guard and the turbo. The snorkel stick straight up through the windscreen wiper panel and that is that. All plumbing is 4" pipe and have a 4" Donaldson ram shorkel head that is about mid windscreen. I know that sound wrong and sounds to low but it is 1500mm above ground level so if the water gets that deep I'll be switching off as other wise the ecu will get fried.
Obviously I don't have a heater either.
