Syncro models suck air from a tube system high up in the right pillar. Just FYI, home made attempts at longer air intakes to get to air outside the engine bay can result in a loss of power from air friction greater than the benefit of the cooler air. Be on the lookout for such systems that use corrugated tubing for ease of universal installs, for example.

Point was someone's already developed an intake that pulls in fresh air for your exact vehicle and engine. Copy or buy used parts.

Not just Syncros - all the later Vans ('86 and up) have the snorkel...
