We
made a lot of progress last night. I went up to my mechanics
place and brought along a thin sheet of aluminum. I traced the

will allow air coming into the scoop to flow into the trunk
instead of the engine bay.
You
can see what he cut out here. Notice that it naturally flows
into the trunk through the quarter panel:
After
he was done I installed the piece I made to block the air from
getting into the engine bay and forcing it back into the trunk:

You
might notice that the IC pipe going into the TB comes through
the firewall right where the fuse box and coolant neck are. They
had to be shortened to accommodate this change:
