Nope here, as this is what looks like:

But hey could be possible?! Would mean some moding to the stock plastic piping to match up to the turbo. And you could always try running the ic piping a different route?

 

You could run the intercooler piping the way it runs on a TT so through the wing, it may allow enough room to fit the stock airbox but I would imagine a custom intake pipe would be needed from the turbo to the stock box :)

The issue is the typical location for the air filter. If you make up some custom pipework and move the filter to the correct location, you could easily place it inside a box.

 

The thing is, you need to weigh up the benefits to doing this. How many 600hp singles have found the need to? I would personally get it running, install some air-intake-sensors then create your custom pipework/box and compare the difference in temperature to ensure the benefits are worth it.

 

I see a lot of modifications without comparing the differences or indeed ensuring the work was needed, you can help justify it to yourself as well if you know for sure the temp's will be lowered from an airbox. You may be one of the lucky ones and be able to pass a 4" intake pass the dizzy depending on your manifold alignment.

You would be able to do, if it can be done on a TT then you must be able to on an N/A-T

 

Take the Intercooler piping over the top and through the wing similar to this

 

The only problem I can see is the N/A Airbox, as the pipe comes out of the back at a different angle making slightly less room for the Intercooler Pipes

 

To give you an idea
