His Dak is a 90 pre mag. If his air filter housing is like the one on my 92 was
there is no good way to use PVC. It's the old styled round housing with a 9"
filter. It's ok for "normal" driving, but if you use the spreadsheet off of
Bernd's site the 9" filter starts choking off the V6 at anything over about 3800
RPM. With a V8 it drops to about 2800 RPM. I got a slightly used PoBoy intake
(air hat to filter) from another DMLer (thanks Scott) and it's working great.
