Yes I did, and I knew what it was for. I wanted the aero advantage, and I also like the side effect of warmer air. I was a bit deceived by the result on the IAT increase from the block though. Last week it was 85 F when I did an hour of highway testing logging stuff with vag-com, including IAT. Even with the intercooler fully blocked, I could not get IAT to go higher than 115 F with the kind of driving I do. I would like something closer to 150 F. I removed the snorkel between the fender and the airbox to help with that, but haven't looked at the IAT again yet.
