PT Air Intake Change

[putneyflash@...]

The screen will plug with leaves and you can't develop enough power thru in 5th gear. also you exhaust temp will go thru the roof.

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?
