I may ned to go for a slightly smaller battery but not muchas the intention is to fit a decent air oil seperator catch can next to the b...attery then a decent size induction filter just behind the headlight. Once the symposer pipework is binned there will be plenty room to run pipework round from the turbo compressor inlet to the filter. arly stageesbut havthe start of templates which i will make up over the weekend in dibond and see what it looks like but should be fairly straight forward with minimal wiring changes needed.
     
  2. Nice work be interesting see how you arrange air intake with battery in that location
     
  3. That's actually the easy bit a pipe can easily be fabricated to run round where the symposer pipe sits down.to the headlight. The harder part is making the mounts to safely the battery
     
  4. If the final location of battery is where the original air box was, be interesting to see how you get air intake hose (symposer) around it.

    You probably already know most folk relocate the battery completely so you design is v different and interesting
     
  5. Like I said that is easy. The only logical reason To do care the battery to the boot is for a bit of weight distribution but the MSA regulations have changed for batteries locates within the passenger compartment so I can't see any logical reason.to .move it when.i don't need.too.
     
  6. All good, look forward to your updates
