Evening all,

I had a friend around a 135T2i earlier today with the cowlings etc off and was able to get hold of these pics that should hopefully make things clearer;

MRGB Cowling removed, showing the oil cooler fan, screen & ducting.




MRGB etc, to the upper left of this pic you can see the large tunnelled opening that the intake air is taken from.




Here you can clearly see the tunnelling. The TRDS being the grey coloured shaft running from the rear of the MRGB through the tunnelling.
The top of the shadowed T shape is the position of the engine air intakes.




The very end of the tunnelling. (I think this is what RVDT refers to as the end of the doghouse)
The angle is a bit deceptive to give a picture of the cavities, however the intake openings are to the top left and right of the shot.




And here is the intake itself (complete with grass)
By looking at the TRDS and protrusions on the decking and comparing with previous picture, you can see where the intake is in relation to the 'doghouse'.
