The warm air induction sounds promising. I've heard the older Saturns respond well to WAI, because they use the MAF setup. I'll be interested to hear your results.

+1 on the electric radiator fan, too.
How about "dont flock about"..

The electric fan is run via a viscous clutch off the waterpump spindle..so not urgent as I'm losing that energy to turn the waterpump anyways.

Best thing to do it try it and let us know! Good luck with your mods, those are the same 3 that are next on my list.

I've never heard of a VAM, but i'll investigate it, sounds like there may still be scope for trying to do a WAI
