Discovering the 1.8 swap intake setup is a giant cluster f***. Apparently no one really tells you that when you are shopping for parts.... At this point I'm really just wishing I'd found a decent running 1.6 so I could at least drive it. Bought it in Feb and still haven't gotten to drive it :(

Basically the intake cross over tube and the fans want to inhabit the same location, we wound up taking the resonator bottle out and then cut the fan shrouds to allow room for the intake. It all works and after I got the fuel plumbed the correct way it fires right up. It does seem to chase the idle right after starting up and needs a little throttle to keep it running when it's cold and just started up. I think the idle control is bad.
