It's great that people are trying this. Spal has a new controller out now - I've been waiting for it - basically a minor update of the current one. I have 2 6.5" fans which will push though from the front side - I plan to ditch the duct on the intercooler entirely and just have the roof duct directed at the IC (an RLS). IMO the bottle neck is the roof duct and bypassing it will allow much more air flow. I don't think drawing air from above the engine will be horrible especially when the car is moving. I'll log some IAT's once I get the whole thing up.
