I even went out and bought some pvc last year after reading the autospeed article about heating the white tubing up to shape it. Well, the problem is we don't have the room to use the plastic tubing. I even tried to flatten it out to squeeze around the intercooler pipe. It was a nice try but all that pvc is now sitting in my garage. I haven't torn everything out yet, but I believe I could cut some thin sheet metal and use rivets to form a duct. The area beside the intercooler would allow for getting air from in front of the intercooler. The open air filter draws hotter engine bay air but I haven't figured out whether the gain (less restriction) outweighs the few degrees of heated air?? If I can fit a duct in there I should have best of both: cool air, less restriction, and large surface area of stock filter. I'm sure there's no huge gains but it is something to try.
