If you still want cool air for performance every now and then, then maybe a dual air intake? One warm, one cold, and you choose which is open with a switch. Fuel efficiency: WAI with blocked IC. Performance: CAI plus open IC block. Also helps when the engine starts to overheat.
thanks very much for the info.

I was thinkin gof blocking the grill by both the foglights and leaving the IC intake clear..

However, what you're suggesting could be possible.

I vould make a vent flap that opened automatically when I switched to the Cold Air intake. this would give me more power and allow me to switch back to WAI when needed.

Do we think anythng could be done Air dam or sideskirt wise?

I'm hoping to identify mount points when I get a look under the car at the weekend- any design tips would be great!
