NACA duct
I recently did some intercooler charge pipes on my car. I moved the AFM to the driver side, and was left with a lot of room infront of the turbo. I happened to have a NACA duct sitting around the house. So I jumpped in and started cutting. After cutting the hole out, I started to feel bad about cutting a mint aluminum hood, but it was too late.

I think it turned out ok.

Got the afm adapter from the pull-part. It was just laying on the ground.

2in hot pipe, 2.5in cold pipe. I don't like doing anything that can]t be undone, so I ran the pipes between the body and radiator. Also using a stock top mount in the front (its pink).

If you didn't know, its a six-port setup.

you should get good response since it meters every spec of air that goes into the engine, typically known as a blow thru maf setup.

Thats pretty cool. i did same on my old 240sx.

its a s13 pignose lip. Unlike 99% of people, I made it fit correctly in the front. These lips look goofy with the front of it tucked under.
