Rerouted and upgraded the air intake today. I've been using the Volvo V70 tdi intake hose which is a tapered 80mm to 51mm drawing air from the OEM side vent through an enclosed K&N Apollo housed air filter system following the OEM hose path. I've maxxed out the airmass at roughly 1500mg/s but the air intake is getting hot (crotch-pot cooking hot , last run 52°C!, ambient was 15°C) This reduces the oxygen to burn once it's been compressed and inter-warmed with my TMIC.
Time to try the cold air feed the Apollo is designed for. The 80mm heavy duty 4ply silicon 45° hose slipped tightly under the brake servo. The hose shape was distorted a little but not to affect the flow or the ends. Little concerned about vibration but I could reduce the diameter - 80mm maximises the remapped airmass housing. The K&N Apollo air filter and housing now lies low and flat in the bay drawing air from the front of the van. Ive made a heat shield plate to shield the filter and pipework from engine heat but left it off while I'm first fitting. Time for a logrun but too late tonight, positive indications at tickover, the temp was lower than previously recorded.

Just returned from my airmass logrun following the airflow pipework changes and it's lost 12°C on tickover (average 52°C previously) and lost 18-30°C on a run (ambient today was 15°C this afternoon).... a couple more runs needed but next is to fit the heat shield and look at opening the front panel up or creating a scoop or feed to it. Success. [emoji41]

Fitted the bonnet strut. Which works a treat but it's taken a few lifts to get used to it as I kept shocking myself when it rises automatically.... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Only criticism I have is that the headlight bracket sits skew on top of the top headlight plate as there's a pressed upturned edge it sits on. I stuck 3x large 1mm washers underneath to square it up temporarily but will find something better in due course. I also removed the rubber grommet from the stay and fitted another large washer backing plate to make it solid. Check your bonnet alignment after fitting the top plate. Great for the money.
