Would you be talking about a Volvo D3 in a 6.5m Pro Sport?

Any pictures of the air intake and/or the route that the air takes to the engine ?

Cheers

Hi, yes it is the D3 in a 6.5m

I don't have any pictures of it at the moment. The vent is on the front of the engine box, about 100mm of the deck, about 700mm long. It vents straight in to the engine box, over the top of the engine.
