Default FMIC on a Trans Am

Yea, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do w/the front plate deal, either leave it and let the FMIC breathe through the fog light holes or take it all out like the above picture....

Or rig something up to where I can take it on and off whenever I want to.....

yea the car is sorta back together with new motor package but without the xb-1a due to some major problems with mounting and oil system, anyways the bd-11 is on just for the time being, until i figure what i want to do either sts, ati etc etc.anyways dimensions are 30x15x4 with 3" inlet and outlet, as far as the boost i was seeing on the bd-11 was 3psi, i know i know everyone wishes the could hit a whopping 3 pounds of boost, the bypass it open to atmosphere right before the intercooler. i have some pics but not of the install. i'll attempt to post them here shortly.

later

I'm playing around with what I want to do with mine now. I'm going to probably try removing the foglights and running some pipe from the light to a point infront of the intercooler, then have a "shield" type thing to make sure the air goes through the intercooler and not just everywhere else - probably out of fiberglass similar to a ported sub box setup.

what are the dimensions that we have room for up in the nose on a TA?
Would something like a 30"x17"x3" fit?

Here's mine.
I have removed the whole bumper support and driving lights since this pic but this is how it started. Now it looks just like the one above.
