Sorry, no solid info in CAI... I'd imagine that it would be more be beneficial in P&G applications. Along with that, It's probably best to isolate the IM from the block with a spacer, as one of the performance oriented guys on here has done.., keeping the "cool air" from expanding as much, since the increase in pressure directly relates to more fuel via ECU.

There has been quite a bit of debate on the MAP vs MAF in warm air applications, and from my findings (miata = MAF) wai was not beneficial to MPG, though the cold ram air was, but only after I adjusted the clock spring in the AFM. Adjusting the AFM with wai netted detonation leaning it out, and a less than drivable lack of HP when enriching it.

As far as a scan tool, if you've got an android phone or tablet, spend the $25 on the torque app and compatible elm327 reader. It's worth every penny! If no android support, get a scan/ultra gauge! Without the ability to monitor your systems, you run a much higher risk in damaging them!
