Looking at moving the focus battery tray to where the airbox used to sit.. Anybody done this before as i have no idea as to how to go about doing it?

Any help appreciated.

why would you want to move it there? iv moved mine to behind passenger seat on my track car but unless you have a good reason for doing what you suggest i dont see the point?

Hi there, I'm new here. For real? anyway there are tons of cool mods to be found around here, you should try to make an aluminum cover for safety.

Just wanted to free up some space up the front to put a big cone filter to the turbo, just seems a bit fiddly trying to route the pipes to go behind the battery?
I would put it in the boot or seat if it was a track car but it is a daily car

Welcome to PF! Haven't got the tools to make things like that unfortunately

Your right in wanting to shift the battery, its in a daft place for airflow to the airfilter.

The only ones ive seen come with the front mount intercooler kits.

we are looking into producing some relocating brackets soon though

Well keep me informed about that, you got a website?

Where else is a good place to put the filter?

yeh, website is at www.8BallTuning.com

behind the n/s/f headlight is about as good as it will get

i have seen people mount it towards the ground in front of the gearbox, but this allows for increased risk of water ingress.
