Sell it and by a 1.8t, just messin around.
Exhaust, electric fan kit. Intakes really don't do much for how much they cost.

I would defenetly do a intake for the 2.8 motor, its very easy to do a custom one for your motor, check on ebay too I've seen intakes for your ride for like 28 bucks

In short, it reduces enginge load because the stock fan is driven by the engine. So you are gaining power that is no longer being used to rotate that huge fan. Good for supposedly 5-10hp, from SPP.
