well, i am done with my snorkel setup. I ran a flex tube (3 inch diameter) from the side of the airbox down to the front under ferring (sp?) and setup a small scoop there.
Results: On a 85-90 degree day....
Before sitting at light : IAT was 135-145 degrees
before cruising down the road (45mph): IAT 110 degree
before cruising on highway 80mph: iat 100 degrees roughly
after sitting at light: 100-110 degrees
cruising down the road 45mph: 90-100
cruising on highway: only a few above ambient (roughly 88-92 degrees)
Not bad. totally invisible. not much work to put it in. no body cutting. only small hole cut in airbox. 50 bucks spent.

nah, i dont have the heat soak kit. I am sure it will help, as i bet most of the heat is coming from the thermo getting heat soaked.
i dint want to lose the fog light. it was just as easy to make a scoop, and this cant be seen.
