Hi brigri,
Nice mods... One question, you spend a lot of time on exhaust manifold , why do you let the engine bread trough a straw? The turbo is made vor building pressure and not for sucking air trough a straw... So next bigger snorkel?

The snorkel is 3" stainless steel pipe, so i think its more bigger than the safari snorkel? maybe..

But when i build the new engine, i have thinked that i put there some bigger air cleaner, maybe some lorry or tractor

3" should do the job... I had some merc-g guys over here who asked me to tune there pumps and adjust ther turbo presure.... Running with 2" home made snorkels, i gave them a botle of coke with 4 straws stuck together...... This was very clear to them... Enjoy following your build....

Regards
