turbo proud Member 16 Member For: 17y 1m 14d Posted 29/11/13 10:05 PM Share Posted 29/11/13 10:05 PM Hi guysJust wondering on a BA turbo can you disconnect the turbo air intake from the top splitter block that off and then connect a direct cold intake straight to the the front of the turbo. ?I was thinking of putting a pipe and kn cone filter under the battery area giving the turbo more air feed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86915-air-intake-repositioning-on-ba-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo proud Member 16 Member For: 17y 1m 14d Posted 29/11/13 10:59 PM Author Share Posted 29/11/13 10:59 PM It will be a ram air from the the lower front bumber area. so therefore will still be a cold air intake I think Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86915-air-intake-repositioning-on-ba-turbo/#findComment-1443122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo proud Member 16 Member For: 17y 1m 14d Posted 30/11/13 02:48 AM Author Share Posted 30/11/13 02:48 AM Mmmm not sure about legalities jas98 but should be ok as I'm taking the car to the UK january. Their modification laws are very relaxed there I think they only look at ride hight.
