Stock Air Intake with Turbo?
Has anyone managed to retain the stock air box after going turbocharged? It looks very tight to make the bend and carry the stock diameter to the turbo inlet.

Any pictures would be even better.

Thanks

I jigsawed the back of mine to make the GReddy pipe fit.

It looks stock from the top.

depends on the turbo kit. It's really not very good fit for the greddy kit unless you changed the intake pipe so it didn't go off at the angle that it does...
