Hello, i have purchased a Twin throttle body. It has another Throttle body just oppisite the standard one, I was wondering what is the best set up without moving the alternator? I have looked at buying a VN Group A bonnet scoop to give me some more room to play with, but was wondering if there was a Nice and neat way to do so without buying the small scoop?

Thanks a ton in advice, and if anyone has any pictures of a set up like this i would appreciate it heaps!

ttb are a waste of money unless you have a high rev 5+ litre. Totally counter productive on a V6 no-matter how wild.

Nah I believe he means on the other side of the plenum, hence the question about the alternator. I've seen this before and it just looks limp. When u see it u'll know what I mean.

Issue with this setup is there generally there are no baffles to distribute the air evenly to the 1st and 6th runner.

The bonnet scoop will not help u in this situation only because it is all confined under the bonnet.

If you are determined to do it I rEckon putting the battery in the boot and making a second air box in that location would be the go.
