oh okay i see it now. i thought you scrapped the old intake and made your own tube...basically i thought the gray pipe was going to the engine.
but i see it now. very cool.

Look at the pictures correctly and see where the pipe is located. It's before the filter, and the other hole is not blocked. I left it there to have 2 air flow holes and the difference is incredible. Before I had a cone filter & it was not the best idea because, it was still sucking air from the engine compartment. I can tell you that now is making much more power + the engine temperature is less.

how much power would you estimate? 5 hp, 10hp?

two things.
first, you may have already done so, but blick off that tube on the other side of the airbox. you're pulling in unfiltered air.
second, get a new filter. i like your idea of routing into the box through the side, but since you're pulling the opposite way through that old filter you're just pulling debris right into the engine.

man, the original pic of that engine bay needs a good cleaning..

[pwgus]

could you possibly post pics somewhere of your whole car, always like seeing the foreign models :-)

I have tested it and I can tell the difference. At night it feels more powerful than the day.

The ambient temps are colder at night - engines like cold air

This is my new air intake. I used the stock air box & cut a hole in the side. I used some pvc piping to route the end to the front grill next to the car logo. I left the stock intake hole. Here are some pics. I haven't tried it yet but I will see how it goes on the road later.
