Lol. BARELY dude, and only with a janky setup. The only way they got a FEW hp is by running it two feet away from the engine at front of the car with a fan blowing at it. If you want to run a dryer duct out the front of your headlight for a couple horsepower, by all means do it, but prior to that what they said is exactly my point. Open air, factory, or an *actual* aftermarket CAI (ie, still hidden behind the bumper), the intercooler is doing its job — the air temp is the same when it exits. Makes no difference. I’m not arguing that cold air isn’t important, it is, but you have a friggin intercooler... the turbo is what, several hundred degrees? And you think 5 degree (f’) difference on intake temp before it hits a burning hot turbo makes a massive difference. It doesn’t.
