Ok I'm going to have to make a disclaimer here because this is my car and I work on it how I please. This write up does not imply that this is the only way to do this or the best way.Just way I did it. That said,on we go.
I have been grabbing some speed parts off my street stang to pump up the Mk8 abit. I searched this site and noted that no one has ever put this setup on there MK8. I originally just had the 9 inch K&N filter laying in engine compartment not blocked off from engine heat and wanted to fix that.
This install could have been easier if I had no air ride but I do. On a mustang there is NOTHING in the pass fenderwell at all. The mk8 has air ride pump,relay,charcoal cannister all in the way.
Here is all the stuff that needs to be moved around to fit 5 inch hose in.
First thig was take out pump and charcoal cannister and trim away part of the basket.
Next I had to machine up new pump feet to raise the pump up 1.5 inches. Here are the feet and you can see the NOS soloniod vent mod I did on the pump years ago when stock vent froze up. This NOS soloniod has been working mint for 5 years now. Its all plumbed in to work and vent same as stock.
Here is the hole cut out in fender wall and box test fit.
Next shot shows pump raised 1.5 inches and charcoal cannister hung above pump I also relocated the pump relay to back of pump basket. You can see the scoop tube sticking up from bottom now.
Here is everything hooked back up and 5 inch hose run.
Here is pic under hood all hooked up and ran.
Here is front shot of the scoop all mounted. I surrounded the scoop on alum strips to make it hold its shape better. It got little beat up over the 10 years on my stang.
It was way more work then I thought, but came out nice. Roughly took 7 hours for total job. I wanted to finish it last night so I can get to track today.

As low as Marks sit, I would be very worried about pulling water into the ductwork.
