Default Stupid Question about D-Series Intake

I'm new to turbo set ups in general but plan on building my A6 or Y8 for an HMT set up. I looked at all the lines and even mapped out a few pictures, but I'm curious as to how to get air into the system. The intercooler just cools the charge but where does the air originally come from? If the turbo is mounted behind the FMIC how do I get air?

i think he is asking where is the air coming from..(am i right?). there is an intake side of the turbo that sucks in outside air, it's not like you are recycleing your exhaust gases or anything

Connect an intake to the side of the turbo instead of the throttle body where you would normally connect it.

Yeah this is sort of what I was hinting at, wasn't sure if the IC was going to block all the air flow and if that mattered or not, thanks for the info guys.

And Josh, I'm sort of scared of running that NA set up because do I really want to daily drive on toluline?
