I have used some alloy tube to route my air filter to the front behind the grill with a silicone hose onto turbo. You want to use something that will not crush/collapse when the turbo is doing its thing.

Much more flexible than most other stuff. Lots on ebay for not much money.

I'm fitting mine next week. Just ordered one from Mini spares for the metro turbo.
