[s-cars] Increasing ait intake...

[Tony]

Just some thoughts on the article.

There was some other things going on that were not addressed. As I mentioned
in a earlier post, the OE air scoop and hose located behind the grille gets
hot, so the air passing thru it to the airbox is being heated - not good.

So, after the modification, there have been two other changes:-

1. New location of scoop is drawing air away from oil cooler. Effects of oil
temp increase?
2. OE scoop plus hose no longer in place so more air passes over turbo.
Cooler turbo?

Do these play a part in the overall results.
