Very interesting. I've been thinking about ways to modify my air intake for some noise reduction in my Bus conversion.

Is that air filter housing a stock Vanagon Diesel part? I'm not super familiar with Vanagon diesels really.

What do you have the TDI MAF mounted to? Mounting that thing to something has been part of my hangup with this -I've never considered having it placed separate from the air filter box with a hose in between. Creative solution! But I'd like to know how it is now mounted/supported.

Thanks for sharing!

My MAF sensor is clamped in-line. No support or bracket. No issues for many miles.

I just ordered a Donaldson which I will be installing below the driver side pillar, on the outside of the entire engine bay. I would've gone with a TD filter if they were available over here.
