cold air intake help!

ok guys i see how you guys can make coldair intakes and everythign but what i was wodnering is on a 1993 f-250 where can i put the hole at for the air to get sucked in at? Also are there any kits available to buy out there for this type of truck that you can just buy and install (maybe do a little bit of work to it)? right now i dont have a turbo setup on the truck but im going to install one in the near future. Please let me know.
thanks,
Jimmy

Over the years I've seen most folks do a little surgery to the rad support and duct air in. There was a company that made kits for the firewall which took air from the grill work below the windscreen after some underhood surgery..... Others have gone to the new open (DollyParton) style air filter under the hood.

The Dolly style air cleaner is like the ones they put on the ricers. Big open filter element with no housing. But this is getting hot engine compartment air and no ram air effect.
I do not know of any aftermarket systems for the old diesels.
I made my own for my truck.
