PT Air Intake Change

[putneyflash@...]

I put hardware cloth over the front about 2 inches in front of the scoop so it catches the leaves and when i shut down they fall off

Mine has a grill on the front. Maybe you could get some stainless mesh and attach it to the front so you wouldn't get debris of any size down in there.

Has anyone modified the engine air intake on the PT roof?

My bus collects leaves on the roof this time of year, and that means
that the forward-facing "ram air" style air intake on the roof ends up
clogged with leaves. Has anyone modified the intake with some sort of
different "mouth"? With the blower and a turbo, I can't imagine there
is any real benefit from any "ram air" effect. I thought of turning it
around so the intake faces the rear, but was concerned about whether
I'd encounter some sort of vaccuum that made it harder to suck air in.

Suggestions?
