Should work just fine. I have my batt in the trunk with an Injen Evo X intake. If you don't have the X turbo though you will need to get a smaller coupler to mate up to the turbo.

EDIT: Why not just get the ralliart one?

I dont like the injen cold air intake being behind the oil cooler in a hard to get to place. I also do like the intake sitting behind the battery beside the turbo breathing hot air. I love the AMS intake but by the time you buy the small battery/intake you are out $600. The only thing that makes sense is the battery relocation and a better Evo X intake for a lot less without the filter being behind the battery or next to the turbo.

Where did you get the tray to relocate the battery?

If you lift up the carpet on the sides of your trunk there are 2 nice little compartments that fit a mini battery perfectly. Get a sealed one and there won't be any need for a tray.

Did you ever go through with this RalliSGT?

I'm looking to get a BBX-Lite, AEM intake, AMS small battery and Evo X snorkel.
I don't know if anyone is running this set up and if it will even fit/work.
Kind of important to know before I get it shipped to the other side of the world

I'm running exactly all four of those.

The AEM intake works *without* the AEM box with a mini battery on it's side.

If you relocate the mini battery off to the side the AEM box will fit. I'm planning on doing this but haven't got around to the relocation yet.

Ha - awesome Bryan. Thanks for the input. I knew you had the BBX-Lite in there but didn't know about the rest. That's re-assuring.

Any reason why you didn't relocate the battery to the trunk?
If I understand you correctly, you are saying you have the battery on its side in your engine bay right now and you'll eventually be adding the AEM enclosure box soon with this design?

Btw, did you get my PM a couple weeks back?

Does anyone know what parts are required for ordering the Evo X snorkel for a Ralliart.
Obviously part # 9 but do we need 6 and 10 for example?

I have a sportback and don't really want to give up any room with the battery in the back. In that photo above, the battery is flat on it's side under the air filter. The AEM box won't fit because the battery is in the way. You need to move the mini battery to the side where the mini fusebox is to get it to fit.

What PM?

Just #9. #10 are the little plastic screws that you already have on your RA snorkel.

#6 is the bracket for the oem air box. You can get it also to bolt one bolt from the AEM box onto but it's not necessary.
