This is the best thread EVER!
Semi-tangent to the earlier tangent.... Shoco: I had considered another option, and with you and APK in the same place I thought it would be a good time to bring it up.
Do you think it would be beneficial to run the roof scoop to the airbox (where the snorkel currently enters)? Then one could take Shoco's side-inlet kit to improve airflow over the intercooler, and the roof duct could then be used to provide cool, clean air to the airbox.
I've looked at my engine bay a bit and even with the i/c installed it seems like there is enough room for a few bends and flex pipes to run the plumbing and it shouldn't interfere with opening the hatch either. The airbox doesn't need a massive amount of air going to it. It just needs access from which to pull cool air, and enough of it circulating around. Just curious as to whether or not you think this is a good idea, based on both your experiences in evaluating airflow through the roof scoop.
And Shoco, any plans to make a kit which will work with the rls intercooler? I'm very interested.
Back on topic: keep it coming! Can't wait to see the data after the fettling is done, to see if it makes a diff.
