I've looked at my engine bay a bit and even with the i/c installed it seems like there is enough room for a few bends and flex pipes to run the plumbing and it shouldn't interfere with opening the hatch either. The airbox doesn't need a massive amount of air going to it. It just needs access from which to pull cool air, and enough of it circulating around. Just curious as to whether or not you think this is a good idea, based on both your experiences in evaluating airflow through the roof scoop.

Smoky, I love this idea, if it's doable. I'm having the Proalloy chargecooler installed (Sector 111 is using my car as the fitment test mule). I'm thinking, hmm, now I've got this scoop on the roof in cool air doing nothing. Maybe I can direct the flow into the airbox. Would it f up the fuel/ air ratio I wonder?
