A little snag - the central plastic engine cover Paul (my client) ordered is off an earlier car, so the "V8" section is broader than mine, and fouls the expansion tank:



Will be carefully trimmed tomorrow.

Picture showing the 1,8T airbox, with forward facing intake, where it would normally go to the turbocharger's cold side:



Will be replaced with a V6 item, as I'm loath to fit an induction kit. The ignition amplifiers and evap. purge valve can then be mounted on the upper cover. The S8's MAF sits within the airbox, pretty much like an AEB, but I'll be fitting it in a conventional manner, in series with the throttle body and airbox.
