WEBER Carb Snorkel...TURTCEL

[TURTCEL]

So I came across this snorkel kit for the WEBER carb that fits our Tercs. Has anyone used one of these for a cold air intake? Also, why can't we adapt our stock air cleaner housing to a WEBER Carb by making a custom adapter plate?

My question stems from the thought that the little square filter that comes with a WEBER kit would suck a lot of hot air into the system, I believe colder air is better and makes more power. Has anyone dabbled with this idea?

there is likely not enough clearance under the hood to add both the carb adapter, and than an air filter adapter. I think a cold air intake is a good idea, all modern cars have it, deleting it takes it a step way back in car development. Likely you would have to peice something together from another car and adapt it to fit.

The snorkel is way too tall. That's why you don't see it on any of our Weber-cars.
I thought about figgering a way to adapt the OE cleaner, but gave up - I think it is too tall as well, given an adapter must be created.
