Effect of inlet temp at air filter on power

[87GN_70GS]

Here's a way to have the best of both worlds:

Use a large diameter "Y" (like Kenne Bell use to sell), with one leg going to pick up cool outside air under the bumper. The other leg has a large one-way check-valve (like a 3" diameter, spring-loaded flapper dryer vent) open to the engine bay and arranged such that low pressure will open the flapper at low speeds. Once the outside air pressure builds up at speed, it should be sufficient to feed the engine, causing the check valve to close, thereby introducing cool air to the engine.

i noticed that on your new setup it looks like you have electrical tape or something in a number of places on the inlet side of the MAF sensor. The pressure of the air being sucked in and especially the pressurization that occurs on the inlet side of the turbo when you let off the gas, will probably cause some leakage here. Clamp it up

taken care of i forgot to metion i changed a few couplings added some clamps etc before it was road tested

Any other pictures of the installation that you may have. Especially underneath. Very professionally looking set-up. And J/K regarding those clear turn indicator lenses. I have been looking for a set for a year or so now. Those really make the car stand out.

I'll try to get out to the shop today and snap some pics Gary. I knew you were joking on the lense thing---that used to be my line! I got the lenses from a dude in Miami, and they were a 10 out of 10. Brian
