[s-cars] Reducing 'Negative Boost' Anyone?

[Tony]

Hi Steve,

I was planning on implementing a new aire intake system similar to that
described in the article, probably in the Spring as temps are rapidly
dropping in Ottawa - had a few snow flakes fall this afternoon.

Anything has go to be better than the current intake snorkel. If you take a
close look at it no wonder there's negative boost.

Tapping off the oil cooler intake snorkel is still probably a good idea, but
I've yet to identify a suitable hose -  I'm not keen on teh ABS pipe used.
Also I got to figure out a way to do it without removing the front bumper if
I can.

Anyway, something to ponder over the long winter nights.
