Questions - for the people who are running vmounts how are you guys running air to your turbos? Are you using direct tubing to supply air straight to the filters? Ive seen many air inlets made (expensive) but wasn't sure if others are using another way to supply that cold air.
I have Greddy vmount for my FD but my concern is getting heated air from the engine bay sucked up into the filters. Reason Im asking.

Another way you can do it is run a duct to feed a filter that is in the engine bay. We had one guy do this which made very good power on a smallish turbo (57mm compressor).

This is my v-mount setup ive finished, does need some ducting still thou.
radiator is a r32 gtr item
intercooler is an ebay 450 x 300
and fd oil coolers
first up secured the top with some bent steel after having the radiator modified with bungs and the cap sealed.
had a fab shop handled the main lower mount/bash plate
Setting the lower height, pretty easy to change it in the future, also the note the oil cooler mounts.
Oil cooler lines cut to size and fittings installed
Intercooler brackets are pretty straight forward, its off centre to allow for water lines and easier piping
Ugly **** water lines but functional, will get these fixed up at a later date
Job done!
