Single turbo air cowl options
Hey looking for options on feeding my single turbo setup some air -- goal is to reduce turbulence, cooler air, maybe even add a proper filter since I just have a turboguard atm. I didn't want to necropost old threads but in the same vein.
1. 335d snorkel: I had this on my last car and not sure how I feel about the squeezed middle section underneath and it doesn't truly connect up to the turbo setup 2. Turner M57 Kit Minimal version: This looks like just a cheap piece of aluminum cut/bent to shape. Does it even come with weather stripping? 3. Turner M57 Full Intake: Grab the full kit even though i'd be throwing away half of it it does come with weather stripping and that back half. Seems a waste of money for my purpose 4. Nelson Air Cowl: More expensive means pretty CF and includes weather stripping 5. HGK E92 Headlight Duct w/ LED: Shipping from Europe might take a while and I'd have to cut out a hole to feed it. 6. Colorado N5x E92 Headlight Duct: Already open, cheaper than above, would probably look better. Might want to build an air damn/heat shield around the turbo still so I don't know if this even solves the primary problem 7. DIY solution similar to #3 but sourcing my own materials

I’m running the turner duct with a turbo guard. Best option imo
Should be this part. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...iABEgJr7_D_BwE |

Did the oem oil cooler lines get in the way? I am starting to notice multiple people with these air-dams have aftermarket oil thermostat/lines/rad-cooler

Yes the factory oil cooler lines will def be in the way, at this point with how old our cars are now would probably be a good time for you to upgrade to an aftermarket oil cooler setup. My factory oil cooler lines failed not to long ago.
