Default Okay, we need a duct for the ebay ic (xspower)

So many people are searching for a duct that "properly" fits the ebay ic (xspower). Please tell me someone here is good with either fiberglass or sheet metal and can fabricate a duct for this, preferably one that will fit with a koyo radiator.

I have a pettit cool charge III, and it won't fit in the small space thats left because the koyo radiator takes up too much space.

I bet we could easily get a dozen or better judging by the interest I've seen over the last few months of people wanting and searching for someone to do this. Everyone says they are going to do it, and it's been 6 months myself looking and still can't find crap.

Or could a guy just saw off part of the duct so it just fits right up the radiator, would it still be able to draw in air properly if the lip of the duct was just barely tucked under? Here is a pic of what it's suppose to look like installed, but I have about 4-5 inches that I can't get under there.

I have a pettit Coolcharge III Intercooler and duct(I know you are talking about using the ebay one with the pettit duct) and a Koyo N Flo and have no fitment issues. There is a guy that makes a metal duct for them, can't think of what his name is though.
