The car has a built in instant and average mpg display and while probably not as accurate as a scangauge it's good enough to easily detect a change of 3% or greater.

Not sure if I have a MAP or MAF. If it's important I can look it up.

I don't mind posting results that didn't work out. But right now I feel there isn't enough proof one way or the other. Even though I'm now expecting that it either won't make a difference or it will actually make things worse I feel obligated to do a second set of tests in the future.

Reason I tried this is due to a bad layout for setting up a warm air intake so I figured instead of getting less dense warmer air I would just reduce the amount of more dense cold air.

Idea sounded good at one in the morning ;P
