Wouldn't silicone will be a pain to remove ? The nostril covers are small and rigid enough I think, but I'll keep an eye on them.

Not sure I'm going to need much more for a WAI, this guy found the temps are high anyway even with a tube from behind the grill fitted.

So today the outside temperature while driving to work was about 15C. While looking at my scangauge I saw the intake air temperature.

It was 34C. Which is quite a lot higher then the outside temperature. This could mean 2 things. Either the air being sucked in to the intake track is warm or the air gets heated up while in the intake track.

I already ruled out the first one. I added a hose to the point where the engine picks up air and routed it to the gril. No difference in air temperature.

So when arriving at work, I removed the air filter cover, and used my IR thermometer to check the temperature of the valve cover directly underneath the air intake:

45C
He was after reducing this temp for more powah, I'm going the other way
