A bit of an update,

After taking off the heat shield bracket and flipping it the correct way and removing the hose from the intercooler the airbox dropped straight into position.

After fighting the arch liner and using new nuts and bolts it all came together nicely.

surprisingly with the base of the airbox in place the intercooler hose went back on with no issues.

The airbox (60mm) to turbo (70mm) did need trimming about 50mm off the airbox end and 25mm off the turbo end for good fit but that's getting replaced with a Roose oe black item and now knowing the intercooler hose fits the whole lot can be done.

Question, on the amal valve there is a small hose not connected to anything.....should it be??

Is the 8mm tube off the airbox lid surposed to be connected to anything??
