Intake modification
The general trend for quickly solving the problem with the intake elbow is to cut off the flexible part and install it back to front. this solves the clearance issue but now it has to point down as the TPS connector is in the way if you point it to the back of the car. The rocker cover breather pipe easily connects to the first of the two holes but the connection to the ICV is too short so I'll lengthen that hose with some 22mm copper pipe.
Where to put the MAF and the cone air filter will be a challenge too. lots of people either go down and through to the passenger footwell or take a feed from above the rad. My plan is to pop the whole lot down in the area that the alternator originally went leaving the rear of the engine bay for fuel and coolant stuff
