Default air filter options in tight spaces? turbo intake..

with my manifold chopped about to relocate the turbo to clear all the things in the way the best i can get it is with the intake about 1" 1/2 from chassis leg . i was thinking that being an escos t34 the intake is rather long, could this be chopped and welded back at an angle or something to give me space to pick up a filter? or any other options would be great, cheers

Apexi Power Intakes flow well and are quite small for cones, although, not sure it would fit on the inlet of your turbo.

Try get a decent picture to help with suggestions buddy.


Cheers,

manifold isnt welded back together atm so hard to get the pic. the chassis rail runs clean across the face of the intake with a 1" 1/2 gap between chassis rail and end of intake best i can really discribe it really.
