S'cuse my ignorance... but aint the top photo a later injection engine and yours is a carb?

However, it's the exact(ish) same kinda thing I want to do with my Mk2 carb'd car.

Run the induction pipework forward to the same or similar point with a cone filter on it. It's just ataching it to the carb that is the current challenge. If I come up with something I'll post it up, but I aint in a hurry!

the car in the first pic is running a diesel engine, the closest factory airbox i can think of that would be close to fitting is a mk3 golf 1.4 airbox...i'll see if i can find pics...

it's being used in a polo bay, but you get the idea...

Some of the very early Golfs and Polos used a remote air box.
