someone, either Jaay or Blue2000s, let me in on the fact that there's a BMW MAF housing identical to what i need. i'm coupling that with the BMC DIA airbox & some silicone tubing. i will detail the whole thing, along with photos & cost, as i fab it up.

Hey Insite, thanks again for taking the time to document your entire motor swap journey. I've been following along, and living vicariously through you with this swap!

What you said about the Evoms intake setup: I couldn't agree more... I feel like the Evoms and Agency power "intake" setups are exactly how you described, with a maf tube housing, cone filter, and some (poor) fitting sheet metal "heat shield" box. While I have an AP setup for the heat shield, etc, it fits so poorly and leaves so many gaps for hot air to enter. The Evoms box is pretty much the same... I'm looking to redesign this or go with something else soon.

Looking forward to your documentary for the BMC DIA airbox setup... That BMC unit has always interested me, but I never took the plunge in trying to get it set up to fit into the 986 properly.
