RE: [DML] Upgrading the Air Filter?

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm surprised that no one with twin turbos has jumped
into this discussion.  FWIW, the twin turbos require
the movement of the alternator from down near the
bottom on the engine to up onto the passenger side
valve cover near the rear of the car (front of the
engine).  In turn, this means that the connection from
the bottom of the air box to the pontoon is not longer
used because the alternator is now in the way.  

So what?  Well, now you are pulling hot air into the
airbox right off the exhaust manifold.  Hot air
expands and, thus, it is thinner and you have less
oxygen per cubic foot.  Here, a "cold air intake"
makes real sense.  

My air box, a modification of Ron Wester's design,
pulls it's air through a 3" tube that ends inside the
pontoon where it is fitted into a large K&N "off road"
conical filter.  

No, I've not done any dyno tests.  I'm not selling
anything so if it pleases me, why pay for a dyno test.
 However, common sense tells me that, in the case of
the twin turbo set-ups, this has to be a better input
device than I previously had.
