    get a bit of stainless 4" pipe however long, and beat one end into a square.. Work on just the edge. keep the height the same as the original air box, the cut off original air box intake so just a small lip sits inside the new square to round and weld on..
    leave 10mm unwelded on the underside and this is you water exit point..
    Cheers

    For your setup with the twin turbs the biggest box you can fit would be the go. The patroldocta air boxes aren't much better than a standard gu one once you put the filter in. Have a look at radius fab or fatz fab they do some nice boxes

    Cheers guys. Ill have a look at them, im from nsw 2 hours south of sydney. Space is kind of an issue to and the patrol docta on is in the perfect spot. I was even considering a kn pod style one. You can get sealed s/ s ones on ebay for 160 or there abouts.

    Well thats good to know then. Im aiming for the back of the engine bay because of where the inlet for the turbos comes out. And i think the snorkel coming out the bonnet is nice and neat. Might just have to bight the bullet and get one of these

    That looks like the mill weld one?? That would work if you don't have ABS or mind cutting your bonnet.
