So this is what I have so far, I am installing in a few days. I'll give an update.

It looks like it should be a substantial upgrade. Is it optimal? Not sure,probably not. I figure this is a good P.O.C. I can work from here, remove the airbox and run my own crafty design. I am not an arts and crafts person, so that would be interesting.

I'm not sure about the F10. I am working on a E70 LCI. I believe what is different between the F10 and E70, with respect to the air intake, is where the snorkels go from the air cleaner. The E70's go from the air cleaner to in front of the radiator. The F10's go from the air cleaner to respective airboxes on each side of the engine in front.

This is for N63 of course. I am just looking at pictures online, please correct me if I am wrong.

Here's my current thinking:

Attachment 1056998

Using cobra head hose adapters, I'm going to make the intake elbows go away. The reason we're ultimately screwed when it comes to M5 intakes on our N63's is because the turbos are clocked differently. But researching this option caused a lightbulb to come on. The M5 intake elbow that mates with the turbo is a cobra head effectively!

So pieces number 8 and 11 below will be removed, and the entire stock air intake assembly will be removed.

Attachment 1057000

After that I have an idea or two about how to get going in the right direction (to the front of the car). First will be using something like this sketch, where piece 1. is a silicone 90 degree elbow, 2. is the MAF housing I had built, 3. is a 3.00" to 2.50" reducer, 4. is a 2.50" section with the PCV tap, and 5. is the 2.50" to 2.31" cobra head.

Attachment 1057001

This would get me to the outer edge of the engine, and allow a straight shot down to the front of the car. Option two would be to cut off the flanges I made and weld them to 2.50" tubing, and skip the reduction from 3.00". I think minimizing the number of bends/reducers/couplings etc will help flow be less turbulent.

This nut can be cracked, but it is a lot more difficult than I thought when I started out. Any other ideas?
Sorry i know this is old but whats the part number for hose 12 and 14

For some unknown reason the hard shift to 3rd gear was causing it.

I dropped by the machine shop earlier, and the flanges are going to be spot on. The owner wanted to get final measurements for the screw holes to hold the HFAMM in place. I gave him the tubing, and he promised to have them welded up and ready for pickup by tomorrow afternoon.

I've been trying to datalog a little with the car in it's current state, took some air mass readings last night, and under hard acceleration the car was sucking ~620 kg/hr (325 cfm) on each bank. I feel pretty confident with the filters I selected being adequate, as they'll pass 550 cfm.

So all in all progressing well, and should be testing on Friday. Only drawback will be the storm moving up the east coast.
Hey, old post I know sorry.... I have an 2011 N63 in a 550 and I am also getting the 102302 HFAMM code... which tube was loose?

I noticed both of my turbo inlet boots are loose & the threads stripped in the turbo. Tap arrives today and they will be repitched to M7 from M6 oem dimension.

Any other thoughts or do you think the intake boots tightened will take care of the code?
