Mitsubishi FTO: Using Factory Box for Intake Setup

You will need

mushroom style pod filter
flexible ducting
hose clamps
longer bolts x4
pod filter adapter plate
90 deg silicone elbows x2
intake pipe

First of all remove factory intake piping (if you want to change this also)
Remove factory air feed (from bumper up to airbox) including small restrictive elbow that goes from bottom of box to the hole that original air feed leads to

Once box is removed remove Air flow meter from box also

Here is how it will all go together (exploded view)

Note the filter adapter and longer bolts

next cut out the plactic tabs

You just have to remove bits so adapter can sit flush against it

Next bolt the adapter to inside of box with Air flow meter outside together using longer bolts as original ones are not long enough

Finally clamp pod filter to adaptor plate and thats that part done.

For the piping from Air flow meter to Throttle body you can see how I used the 90 deg elbows and some piping (all 3 inch diametre)

This does cause a small issue with breather from rear rocker cover so you can either drill a hole in intake piping to run a hose between the two or I just used a breather filter like so

Next is the cold air feed to bumper.

I used a flexi pipe brought from autobarn etc and ran it directly from bumper to air box (where had already removed small elbow and original air feed)

Now put it all together the filter will fit but I cant be sure other cone style ones will.
And dont forget to put a couple of drainage holes in cold air feed to help remove water just incase as water+motor=bad
