fyi its would be going on an 89 celica gt-s

I drew up the plans for just a project about a year ago.
The suggestion was to use a throttle-body for the flow control and the servo/motor from a fax machine or similar. You could control the hot/cold through a knob on an interface.
An easier solution is a manual system with cables.
The first step would be to see if your engine runs more efficiently with warmer air (it varies by engine design). Without a ScanGauge, just keep an eye out for knock...
