found this rubber intake neck off an ea centre point injected 3.9 engine..
so put it to use as a typhoon 2nd intake mod.. -is bascally the same shape/diametre as the rubber typhoon snorkel.. here's the pics.... took 30 mins to take the lower box out.. trace the hole with a texta.. cut it out with the dremel.. fit the rubber neck through and re install the box back in... saved the price of buying a typhoon lower air box and no need to spend the $64-75 plus postage on a genuine typhoon snorkel..

You've done that to a BA? I just mention it as i don't think it would get air in an EA-ED, or much in an EF/EL.
