The curve in the coolant bottle in the factor location is such that you can run a hose from the oval directly to the airbox (cutting a new inlet in the airbox of course), if you remove the lower intake resonator chamber (not the upper pair one, just the lower one that's removed as part of the ISR delete)... Hope that helps.

*And it looks like there's half an inch between the upper round hole and radiator overflow as well, so I suppose one could build a thin upper deflector that gets wider towards bottom and utilize both, with main intake hose at the lower oval, but I don't think it's necessary if maintaining factory intake location as well.

 

Ah, I see now what you're doing. So the coolant bottle stays in the stock location, remove the resonator under the pair resonator, and pick up air from the lower oval hole on the radiator support, tapping into the air box on that side. Got it. And I agree with you that if maintaining the factory inlet to the air box there would be no reason to try and pick up the round hole above the oval. Look forward to seeing your build.

 

Yep, that's what I'm thinking anyways. Probably won't get around to it until early next year and the ISR delete, AFM swap, factory box mod and add'l air intake all on the same weekend or two -- damn, this year's gone fast...
