I made up a box out of ali and fitted the biggest K&N I could. Positioned it behind the headlight so that the snorkel fed straight into it. I then go pipes made out of 3" exhuast tube to conect to the turbo. This was with a safri kit on a GQ.

mine is similar except it is a pod filter inside a metal box. also with pipe connecting it and mounted behind the light next to snorkel hole

works well and made a huge difference over the old setup

I should have added that I ran it with flexi pipe and the difference going to smoth exhuast tube was amazing.

A Gu air box will fit behind your headlight!
either 2.8 lt, 3lt or 4.2 will do!
I put a 2.8 one on mine! ( had to cut off the bit with the air flow meter)
Snorkel straight out of the guard & into air box! :P

just another idea..... i used a new 4l paint can with a pod filter inside, works a treat! (must get around to doing this on my MK as well....)
