my new filter heat guard (stainless one now done!!)
just fitted this, what do you guys think?
I need to add some rubber to the top so it makes a nice fit with the bonnet when closed.

Quality job - I take it the plastic wont melt being close to the turbo?? Rubber at the top would definately finish it off nicely!!! 
BTW....think its time to empty your catch tank!!!

Not sure how much it will help Steve but every little helps and you know how much power heat robs from the engine so can only be good news.
Its doesn’t fix down kev as it sits tight in the gap and sits right down on the inner wing and its held in place by the hose through the hole. It’s surprisingly secure.
Good idea about the holes Duc, may have to pop in to the machinist tomorrow and see if he could add them to the finished article.. If you want one let me know, if your going to Stanford this Sunday come over and have a gander, im on the Hampshire stand

Just picked this up from the machine shop what do you think?
Its not fitted yet as the weathers to crap but will get some pics up once she's in place.
Its bling shinny on the inside but finnished stainless on the outside
Oh and the small hole is to mount my amal valve
£80 posted if anyone wants one made

Yes not a bad idea Spadge & i did think about doing it but wouldnt want to put any holes in my inner wing. I guess it could be incorperated for version 3

Ah but mike that hole is quite a bit lower than the turbo so would be relatively cool, heat rises dont you know Plus im planning on adding an air feed from the fog grills which will fix under there.

. How do I know this? As I have a temperature probe inside my AIRBOX and this STILL suffers from heatsoak.Also, you have to remember that the turbo is SUCKING huge amounts of air, and it will draw the hot air into that space if you don't block it off

Do it around the filter rather than the hose, so it moves it in enough to avoid the turbo to intercooler hose, you should then be able to have no hole, and then the only think you will have to worry about is heatsoak 
.
Look at Rod's one he did on his car for the idea .

. Think part of the trouble is my T34 hose has been trimmed a little to easy fitment of the big Woodford K&N. I better get myself a new one on Sunday so I can move the whole lot left a couple of inches.
