Default Factory airbox and PSC pump?

Looking to do a hydro steer setup and going with the PSC PS pump and reservoir.

What is everyone doing with their air boxes? I have a AEV snorkel and plan to keep it. On the PSC site they cut a hole at the bottom of the bottom to feed a line through it which I cannot do or else it defeats the point of the snorkel.

Any noodle style options available for the airbox?

Check out the RIPP cold air intake. Way smaller and works with a snorkel.

Smashboogie shaved the base of my reservoir and routed the lines around it to keep the factory airbox and aev snorkel. Not sure if they have any pictures of how much they removed. I can try to take some tomorrow.

Sweet. I was wondering what the heck I was going to do if I decided to just upgrade the steering pump to PSC.

From what I understand PSC recommends only up to a certain length of line to avoid the additional likelihood of air in the line. I'd be interested in seeing also how much extra line they used to work around the factory intake.

The RIPP intake looks pretty slick. Basically exactly what I'm looking for. Downside is that its another 350 can to my list of broken things. Plus the DIY tube to connect the two together. Hoping to accomplish it a bit cheaper as these repairs/upgrades are blowing up my pocket

I'd love to see the photos if you are able to get them.
