Has anyone looked at relocating the mcx intake back to the panel area? Thinking about checking it out so I can run a skinz seat and storage bag.Thoughts?

Have you looked at the MCX mountain mod seat? Works great and the hot trunk is sooooooo nice.

Do you think the mountain mod would work with the MPI turbo
Im sure it would, there are some detailed pics on mountain mods website on whats involved to make it all work
Nothing against the mountain mod seat just think that the dash area is a better, more convenient spot for the intake. Looking at the mcx website shows that the bigger turbo kits run the charge tube on the outside of the frame. My 180 runs a hose tucked between the motor and frame, the idea would be to 180 degree the intake of the turbo and run a similar charge tube on the outside of the frame and put the intake up front.
Makes no sense to not try to free up space, get a few pounds off my back and make it a better deep snow setup. Or I could just do what everyone else does..
Hardly reinventing the wheel

I know the snorkel is the current fix for snow build up issue I'm just not a big fan. Don't think that the intake length would create an issue to pull 10#.
I dont understand what your trying to do? You have the MCX turbo and u want to suck air from behind the windshield?
The best thing about the MCX nytro is the rear intake with a tunnel dump, it never plugs off and when in handlebar deep snow if it does pile up back there u knock it with your foot and keep going where most sleds bog out. I swear these rear mount nytros would run under water. Thats the last place Id want my intake is up there where the snow is all coming over the hood. Plus then u get to listen to the sucking sound and BOV all day and it will drive u nuts.

i have also wondered this.. i think it would be better to have in windshield area..
Lol what windshield?
Who knows where I'd put it hell with my headlight delete there is tons of room(no intercooler of course)
Have a cr tunnel dump works awesome, sounds better!
Sorry guys, the snorkel works... But it's fugly just sayin
As far as the turbo noise lemme hear it! Paid good cash for it, have to let someone else ride it so I can hear her in all her glory. Everyone out there with a 180 kit knows what I'm talkin about lol. Even when I put the lighter bov spring in I was tickled to finally hear what we goin on( just have to figure out a way to make her whistle a little more instead of that gush)

Hahahaha......beat it
Jk
So I take the lack of response means that nobody has looked into this but some are curious. Does anyone have any insight as to if there is enough room to do something like this?

a long intake tube will affect turbo spool, not saying they a not worth it at times but there is a downside.. julio

Not too sure what I'm gonna do with it yet. Don't want to make it lag that's for sure. Maybe ill hose it back to the bumper just to see how it affects things.
