Hate to say this but I think it's pointless/useless tho' it may have some merit for pumping fresh air into the crankcase.

Dude....there's only so much air the engine can "SUCK" through the TB, hose, MAF and lid. You could put a 200mph leaf blower in front of the MAF blowing on it and it will do NOTHING.

If you're going to introduce more air right in front of the MAF, shooting into the MAF screen.....it better be ducted and under pressure like from a turbo or sc'er......or it will do nothing.

Its really cheesy to keep continuing with this subject.
