Title: snorkel on a 2.5 N/A
Post by: JimP on March 30, 2009, 14:02:21

I want to put a snorkel on my Diesel 2.5 n/a

Anyone got any pics of home made jobs so I can have a look how it's done??

Cheers

Jim

Hi,

I have asked the same questions a few times previously as well as resourcing where to route piping and where to source etc.

Well I have done my own Snorkel now, I will take a few pictures and let you see what I did a couple of weekends ago.

regards

Jason

Hi,

forgot to mention that the Bonnet needed the Lip on the right hand side to be slightly trimmed so it did not crush the pipe when closed ! I just cut 2 slits and then folded the lip back
