I'm toying around with the idea of bringing in cool air to my carb. Possibly cutting into the side of my car, don't realy want to do this. Although some 996 or Boxter side intakes would be cool (no pun intended). Has anyone done this? Any pictures with or with out penetrating the side of the car showing cool air intakes.
I took my car out to the Longhouse(liquior store) for Whisky and lotto today and noticed when I got home, 7miles, my air filter and assy was as hot as the valve covers. Using 2000 technoligy, I know it's 2010, there's got to be a better way. Here's a pict of what I got, I almost feel this intake is restrictive for my engine. I have a few ideas, like suckung thru the engine lid with air filters to the carb?
Let me know what is out there. Who's done it, what results,
Thanks,
TI
