**UPDATE**+PIC-Installed cold air intake
Well it was a sucessful day. Meet up with Bryan (Chaos) and installed my ebay air intake from max-speed motor-sports. Looks good, sounds great, inc. in torque.
We were going to install his FMIC but the front bumper had been riveted on so we need a dreamal to get them off.
Heres what we took out..
and what we put in..
very easy to do

RE: **UPDATE**+PIC-Installed cold air intake
i knew you'd say that cincy. but i still think having cold air going into a turbo is better than hot air going into a turbo. i'm thinkin bout getting a small piece of intercooler piping and weld in a bung for my pyrometer and then put it somewhere after the intercooler, then compare the 2 readings with and without a heatshield. just so i can prove this one way or another.
I'm make believe

you can do what you want, but if what you thought was true, everyone and there mom would be buying cai's and showing a hp gain. Since thats not the case, ill stick with my statements

flow > temp.
The temp in under the hood still has air flowing through it and is going to be only so much hotter than outside air. Even if the diff is 30-50*, its going to come out maybe 5* or so differnt. This difference will then be negated by the ic before making it to the tb. The only gains made by the a intake is when the stock is restrictive and the new intake takes in more than enough cfm.
