Looks great but as already said would there not be a massive amount of heat soak with the ducting right across the manifold?

Couldn't really put the battery in the boot as being a van it's always full of stuff haha, shouldn't be much heat soak in the air flow pipe, and if there is the monster intercooler will cool it back down lol. More pics to be added!!

With regards to the heat soak issue is, are people missing the fact that the manifold is wrapped?
