Richard,
I noticed you have an 85 SD. The intake on that is near optimal.

I noticed the pipe coming out of the back of the turbo just heads strait down and out the back of the car. My exhaust is pitted and full of holes and needs replacing anyways, which is why I'm looking into having one made. Probably cheaper that way than trying to source, buy, ship a new one for my car.
Performance is not only the reason I want to change my intake setup. I've busted 3, yes, count them 3 intake housing brackets and I think having a small filter right off the turbo looks a hell of a lot better when I pop the hood. I like seeing that turbo sitting there
. I would find a nice stainless steel or aluminum housing, I hate the chrome, but this is all temporary for a few years until I start working on the super-turbo version of this engine. I'm collecting a nice pile of parts for when I have the time.
