Air Filter
After managing to squeeze the chargecooler under the bonnet I haven't got any room for the air filter. Can anyone recommend an airfilter that i
can stick on the turbo outside the car, the dimensions need to be 60mm internal, overal length 120mm and width of 100mm. Heres a pic for reference:

have you got any spare room in your nose cone? could you run some intake ducting into there, and put your filter in the nose? looks quite close to the
wheel there. looks like it might also get quite wet if it rains

any spare room in front of the scuttle perhaps?
just looking at your photos, theres a bit of space next to the header tank. if thats still there its an option. maybe a scoop to get a good supply of
cool air at it. or even a NACA duct or 2 with some more ducting.

I made a side entry to my engine bay to feed an enclosed cone filter. The round inlet hole was just behind the drivers side wheel. The first day I
went out after installing was wet and the first puddle I went through filled the inlet tube with water. Luckily I had installed a ubend to counter
this but it was still close to sucking in a lot of water.
After that I made a wedge shape side exit vent from the engine bay which mostly covered the inlet and shielded it from the water splashes.

Cheers for the relies. I am wondering whether i will be able to use some flexible ipe and do some sort of return to the scuttle for it to sit there.
