It goes through the intercooler, then comes out of the intercooler on the other side at the very top of the intercooler (weird), then the hose goes back over the top of the intercooler to the side where it entered, then up the inside of the guard, then through the inner guard (circled, it is very narrow here), then up and back over the top of the motor and into the inlet plenum.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11934-pictures-of-xr6t-air-flow/page/5/#findComment-145929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought he was after pics of the air flow as in a wind tunnel test.Couldn't find any of an XR6T though, but did find a sample. see below.But hey, that's NOT what he wanted anyway.gees.. just can't please some people. :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11934-pictures-of-xr6t-air-flow/page/5/#findComment-145948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that would also answer the original question.
