Forgot to add these, I closed the gap on top of the radiator. I purposely made the panel too small because there will be edging added.

I hope you took notes/measurements on your build, get cad drawings done, market the design, and take my money!

haha, I don't think people would like the price of this "kit". Most people seem to shop by price not by whats in the box.

@Kotu100, sure let me know when you want to stop by. Always good to chat with locals. I'll PM you the address.

Still calling around working out what to do for a tune. To be ready for anything I made a upper intercooler pipe to accommodate a MAF sensor. This should be enough straight section to give clean readings.

This is the final variation, see the top corners are slightly different, this is now powder coated red to match the front bars.

If you ever make this available you have a buyer right here

Have you already cut/welded in the MAF mount? Just based on what I've read on other parts of the forum it might be worth moving it a bit more towards the centre of that straight section. I seem to recall reading that having straight flow both in and out was important.

Already welded in place, whats not in the picture is the BOV mount which is right after that first bend. I didn't want the sensor closer to that turbulence. Locating these stupid things is a large reason I want to run SD.

And having straight section before and after is great on paper but good luck actually making that happen in a car.
