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.

The point is, to place that intake behind grill in front bumper and you didnt get a point at all... anyway.....

No point to hijack my thread. Have nice day. Bye
