In order to effectively package the airbox/filter with the least amount of loss it's going to be necessary to move the battery to the boot and move the ECU somewhere else in the bay, most likely flat on the existing battery tray on some AV mounts.
The battery in boot idea isn't a new one and in motorsport its pretty much standard practive to have the battery somewhere in the passenger cell for weight distribution reasons.
Battery I've picked for the Super Cup project is an Odyssey PC 625 which despite only being 170mm x 99mm x 175mm in size and less than 6KG in weight is capable of supplying 625 amps for short periods of time and a fairly sustained 400 amps. They are used pretty extensively by the Lotus boys and its a fairly perfect size for the Clio. Just need to make a nice ally mounting bracket for it now and bolt it into the boot in place of the tool kit.
