The other place I remember Aaron tried was getting the air from the vents by the windscreen wipers...
Can't remember why he moved it though unless it just didn't work
as i mensioned in one of the previuos threads above , im simply going to experiment with the space i have available and the new filter and see how things go, that way im going my own way 
You're right to be individual, life would be dull if we all did things the same way!
In the end though if it does the trick then it doesn't really matter, but there have been a lot of people that have tried various ways so sometimes learning from other peoples experiences can help save some cash, remember these things aren't cheap cars to run and develop and most people can't affort trial and error. Also be carefull with the CDA's a lot of the Punto guys say they need cleaning more often than normal filters especially in turbo applications where you're sucking in more air than you actually use
There are a certain things that should be a given on turbos that you must do. Fuel pump, fpr, brakes, oil cooler and probably clutch upgrade anything else is up to the individual. but if you get this far and hi boost the chances are you have enough power and anything else will just be tweaking
once my wallet has recovered a bit from only a few weeks as a turbo owner haha,,,,,,as warned
This is how I see it (and then I must get to bed!):
Theory. What you need to know is that high pressure air seeks out low pressure and that the highest pressure area on a car is the very front.
Just as air will try to skip round the sides of a car (and underneath and over the top), so it will try and skip round the sides of radiators, intercoolers and oil filters. You can force it to go where you want by building a baffle from the bumper to the sides of the rad (etc). The baffle needs some give in it or a small collision will take out the rad.
You can decrease the air pressure behind the rad by ducting air out: the vents on the Integrale, the Ford rally cars and the Elise/Elige are anything but cosmetic. Doing them properly, however, so they don't look like bits of plastic tat glued on is difficult: having them done professionally is expensive. In effect, these provide the air with a low pressure area it'll follow, and increase the air throughput. As turbocharging a car is pretty much about temperature control, it all helps.
A case in point, the oil cooler. Most (all?) turbo Cinqs have the oil cooler mounted on the extreme nearside of the car. Immediately behind that is the wheelarch liner. Vent that, just as on the offside of the Sei and you have a wonderful air extractor (the tyre spinning creates a super low pressure area). Box that all in with something like carbon or thin guage alloy sheet (do it right and it can be held on with velcro) so the air can't get confused and wander off somewhere else, then build a deformable structure out to the bumper. One less hot air source to worry about.
Looking neat, but why the el cheapo boost controller mounted there (and Aaron will tell you that they're dangerous and to fit an electronic one, and he's right!)
