Assembling all the parts    

Putting it together

The airbox seals to the hood and extends fully out of the trunk such that any water ingested flows out.    The cooler itself fits tightly against the front of the airbox.   The front of the cooler is sealed to the opening in the bumper.  

The objective is to provide a clear air path from the high pressure zone in front of the bumper to the low pressure zone in the center of the hood.   The pressure differential should force plenty of air through the cooler.  By sealing all the coupling, leakage is minimized and airflow maximized.

	Airbox is mounted with long bolts attached to the hood latch plate.  Rubber spacers prevent noise and vibration.
	Cooler is mounted flush against airbox.  Rubber vibration isolators are used.   A rubber gasket strip is fit between airbox and cooler to prevent noise and to improve the seal.  ALL the air through the cooler will go out the airbox.
	Custom hoses are fabbed up and mounted.  Hose ends are all 30mm, cooler fittings are Widemouth.  Installation would have been simplified if both inlet/outlet were on the same side.
	Hoses are routed out from behind valence up to finned oil lines in the wheel well.
