M2 intake + M2 med intercooler + Air pump??

I have just installed an M2 intake and M2 med intercooler with the Air pump friendly pipe. My only problem is i can't figure out how to connect the intake to the air pump. It doesn't seem like there is enough room to route a hose to connect the intake to the air pump. My AST has been eliminated.

I have searched and most people just eliminate the air pump, but i want to retain it. Some people just put a filter on the end of the air pump, but I'm not sure this is the best solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think I'm missing something here because IIRC the M2 box has fittings (small pipes) welded right on it for the air pump, BOV, and turbo intake. Just connect the hose from the airpump right up to it.

Check this site for a pic:

The stock hose will not fit. As mentioned in the above link, you will need a 7/8" hose with a 90 degree bend and cut it to fit.
